《地球科學前沿》是一份開放獲取的期刊，旨在匯集并在一個單一平臺上發表致力于我們星球的最佳研究成果。該平臺承載著地球科學領域快速增長和不斷擴大的領域，包括巖石圈(包括地球科學光譜)、水圈(包括海洋地球科學和水文學，補充現有的海洋科學前沿期刊)和大氣(包括氣象學和氣候學)。因此，地球科學的前沿集中于在構成我們星球的主要領域內和之間進行的無數進程。反過來,這些過程的理解提供了更好地利用可用的資源的理論背景和面臨的主要環境挑戰(包括地震、海嘯、火山爆發、洪水、山體滑坡、氣候變化、極端氣象事件):這就是相互依賴的過程中滿足,需要一個全面的視圖和我們星球上更好的生活。

Frontiers in Earth Science is an open-access journal that aims to bring together and publish on a single platform the best research dedicated to our planet.This platform hosts the rapidly growing and continuously expanding domains in Earth Science, involving the lithosphere (including the geosciences spectrum), the hydrosphere (including marine geosciences and hydrology, complementing the existing Frontiers journal on Marine Science) and the atmosphere (including meteorology and climatology). As such, Frontiers in Earth Science focuses on the countless processes operating within and among the major spheres constituting our planet. In turn, the understanding of these processes provides the theoretical background to better use the available resources and to face the major environmental challenges (including earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, floods, landslides, climate changes, extreme meteorological events): this is where interdependent processes meet, requiring a holistic view to better live on and with our planet.
