About the Journal

地球与空间科学辑要 Compendium of Earth and Space Sciences (ISSN Print: 3079-5621, ISSN Online: 3079-563X) is an international, peer-reviewed Open Access (OA) journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research on the interactions among Earth’s critical spheres—lithosphere, pedosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—and their dynamic connections to space science. By integrating multi-scale observations, computational modeling, and emerging technologies, the journal serves as a global platform for scientists, engineers, and policymakers to address planetary challenges, including climate change, geohazards, resource sustainability, and space exploration. Our mission is to foster a holistic understanding of Earth’s interconnected systems and humanity’s role in the cosmos through open science and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

​Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes submissions across ​all domains of Earth and space sciences, emphasizing interactions within and between Earth’s spheres and their cosmic context. Key areas include:

​Earth’s Sphere Interactions

  1. ​Lithosphere

    • Tectonic dynamics, crust-mantle interactions, and volcanic processes.
    • Rock weathering, mineral resource formation, and geochemical cycling.
    • Earthquake mechanics, geothermal energy systems, and deep Earth imaging.

  2. ​Pedosphere

    • Soil health, carbon sequestration, and microbial-plant-soil feedbacks.
    • Soil degradation, contaminant transport, and sustainable land management.

  3. ​Atmosphere

    • Climate dynamics, extreme weather events, and aerosol-cloud interactions.
    • Air quality, greenhouse gas fluxes, and paleoclimate reconstruction.

  4. ​Hydrosphere

    • Ocean-atmosphere coupling, glacial dynamics, and hydrological cycles.
    • Groundwater recharge, coastal erosion, and freshwater resource resilience.

  5. ​Biosphere

    • Biogeochemical cycles (C, N, P), biodiversity loss, and ecosystem resilience.
    • Astrobiology, extremophiles, and human impacts on ecological networks.

  6. ​Cross-Sphere Synergies

    • ​Lithosphere-Hydrosphere: Subduction zones, hydrothermal vent ecosystems.
    • ​Atmosphere-Biosphere: Forest-climate feedbacks, methane emissions from wetlands.
    • ​Human-Earth System: Anthropocene impacts, sustainable development goals (SDGs).
