Scope
Fundamental environmental research is welcomed, alongside modelling, fieldwork, applied studies, policy work and studies at the environmental and social science interface. Studies that enhance holistic environmental understanding, for example by connecting different environmental compartments, linking to human health and wellbeing, and joining up other disciplines, are particularly welcome.
Truly interdisciplinary, the journal welcomes research from any field related to the environmental sciences, global environmental change, and sustainability science. Inclusive collaboration across research disciplines is important for scientific advancement and as such.
We welcome studies from a broad range of topics including:

- soil science
- geoscience
- atmospheric science
- agricultural science
- climate science
- social science interface
- and much more
Studies that advance our understanding of the physical environment, environmental health, and environmental sustainability, or provide solutions to challenges in these areas are particularly welcome. All submitted manuscripts will be judged on their quality, interest, and potential impact, to ensure we publish novel and significant contributions.
