Earth Science, Systems and Society (ES3) is a new, fully gold open access journal, owned and published by the Geological Society of London using the systems and services of Frontiers Media.
Encompassing field, theoretical, experimental and numerical methods, papers are expected to present a significant advance in understanding, great scientific rigour and novelty.
For May, June and July 2022 only, waived Article Processing Charge for accepted papers
For a limited period, ES
3 is offering a full waiver on Open Access Article Processing Charges (APCs) for accepted papers.
To qualify, papers must have an original submission date of May-July 2022.

Scope
ES
3 is dedicated to the publication of timely and topical research of high importance across the breadth of the geosciences.
The journal has a special focus on cross-disciplinary research that showcases the relevance of geoscience to sustainability in society. The journal welcomes contributions, which explores challenges such as:
- Climate change – past, present and future
- Energy transition, decarbonisation and critical materials
- Hazards and risk – prediction, mitigation and reduction
- Urban development and land-use dynamics
- Habitable planet – terrestrial and extra-terrestrial life
- Holocene-Anthropocene interface
- Big data, data science and mathematical modelling
- Sustainable and responsible natural resource management
- Geohealth – the intersection of geoscience and health
- Earth systems science – natural and social science interaction
- Monitoring change – advances in technology and instrumentation
- Geoscience communication and ethics
The journal is also concerned with broad research from across the geosciences. Subjects include but are not limited to:
- Biogeoscience
- Energy, exploration and resource geoscience
- Engineering geology, hydrogeology and environmental geoscience
- Geochemistry, geochronology and isotope geology
- Quaternary geology, geomorphology and landscape evolution
- Geophysics (geodynamics, seismology and geomagnetism)
- Marine geoscience and paleoceanography
- Metamorphic and igneous geology
- Paleobiology and paleoenvironments
- Planetary geoscience
- Sedimentology and stratigraphy
- Structural geology and tectonics
- Volcanology
