About the journal
Nature Geoscience is a monthly multi-disciplinary journal aimed at bringing together top-quality research across the entire spectrum of the Earth Sciences along with relevant work in related areas.
The journal's content reflects all the disciplines within the geosciences, encompassing field work, modelling and theoretical studies.
Topics covered in the journal include:
- Atmospheric science
- Biogeochemistry
- Climate science
- Geobiology
- Geochemistry
- Geoinformatics and remote sensing
- Geology
- Geomagnetism and palaeomagnetism
- Geomorphology
- Geophysics
- Glaciology
- Hydrology and limnology
- Mineralogy and mineral physics
- Oceanography
- Palaeontology
- Palaeoclimatology and palaeoceanography
- Petrology
- Planetary science
- Seismology
- Space physics
- Tectonics
- Volcanology
Nature Geoscience is committed to publishing significant, high-quality research in the Earth Sciences through a fair, rapid and rigorous peer review process that is overseen by a team of full-time professional editors.
In addition to publishing primary research, Nature Geoscience provides an overview of the most important developments in the Earth Sciences through the publication of Review Articles, News and Views, Research Highlights, Commentaries and reviews of relevant books and arts events.
Instructions to Authors
Editors and contact information
Like the other Nature titles, Nature Geoscience has no external editorial board. Instead, all editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors, who are PhD-level geoscientists. Information about the scientific background of the editors can be found here.
General editorial inquiries and correspondence should be addressed to the Editor, at geoscience@nature.com.
Inquiries about the status of a manuscript should be addressed to the Editorial Assistant, at geoscience@nature.com.
Relationship to other Nature journals
Nature Geoscience is editorially independent, and its editors make their own decisions, independent of the other Nature journals. It is for authors alone to decide where to submit their manuscripts. Nature will continue to publish the most significant advances in science, including the geosciences. Nature Geoscience publishes landmark papers within the fields of the geosciences alone. Topics covered by other Nature journals (such as physics and materials science) may feature in Nature Geoscience when the work centres on some new development in the geosciences; otherwise these topics will be the remit of the other relevant journal. For papers that could satisfy the scope of more than one Nature journal, the choice of which journal to submit first lies with the authors.
If a paper is rejected from one Nature journal, the authors can use an automated manuscript transfer service to submit the paper to Nature Geoscience via a link sent to them by the editor handling the manuscript. Authors should note that referees' comments (including any confidential comments to the editor) and identities are transferred to the editor of the second journal along with the manuscript. The journal editors will take the previous reviews into account when making their decision, although in some cases the editors may choose to take advice from additional referees. Alternatively, authors may choose to request a fresh review, in which case they should not use the automated transfer link, and the editors will evaluate the paper without reference to the previous review process.

Editorial Board
Chief Editor: Heike Langenberg
Heike has been a Senior Editor at Nature handling manuscripts in the broad area of the climate sciences since 1999, and now heads the editorial team of Nature Geoscience. A graduate in mathematics of the Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, she ventured into oceanography for her PhD at the University of Hamburg. Her postdoctoral research at various research institutes in Hamburg was focused on numerical simulations of the ocean and atmosphere at a regional scale.
Associate Editor: Alicia Newton
Throughout her studies Alicia has focused on various aspects of micropalaeontology and palaeoceanography. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, her areas of research include Palaeozoic palaeontology and micropalaeontology, Quaternary climate and oceanographic change, and the development of palaeoceanographic proxies. She has also been active in secondary and undergraduate geoscience education practice and pedagogy. Alicia joined Nature Geoscience in July 2007.
Associate Editor: Anna Armstrong
Anna joined Nature Geoscience in April 2008 after working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of York and the Australian National University, where she examined the response of terrestrial plant respiration to environmental change, with a particular focus on the mechanistic changes underpinning respiratory adjustments to long-term temperature change. She has also been involved in research projects at the University of Illinois and at the intensive forestry biome at Biosphere 2. She received her BSc in Biology and her PhD in Plant Ecophysiology from the Department of Biology, University of York.
Associate Editor: Amy Whitchurch
Amy joined Nature Geoscience in December 2009 after working as a postdoctoral researcher at Imperial College London, examining mountain evolution using the techniques of thermochronology and sedimentology. Amy obtained her Phd in Geology from Imperial College, focussing on the sedimentary record of hotspot evolution, and her MRes in Earth and Atmospheric Physics from Leeds University, where she concentrated on volcano-seismology. While studying for her BSc in Environmental Science at Lancaster University, she spent an exchange year at the University of Minnesota, USA.
