The journal publishes a wide range of science and social science research addressing issues of broad relevance and applicability, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. Research can address global effects or make connections between local and global scales. Articles may:
- enhance the understanding of natural and human environments and systems;
- analyse and predict environment changes and the consequences of those changes;
- provide demonstrations of practical approaches to preventing, ameliorating or adapting to the detrimental effects of climate change and other human activities.
Primary research articles will typically provide new insights. Datasets and methodologies will also be considered on their own merit if they provide a significant benefit to other researchers.
