Earth Surface Processes and Landforms is an interdisciplinary international journal concerned with:
the interactions between surface processes and landforms and landscapes;
that lead to physical, chemical and biological changes; and which in turn create;
current landscapes and the geological record of past landscapes.
Its focus is core to both physical geographical and geological communities, and also the wider geosciences
We publish manuscripts that address the full range of the discipline of geomorphology including the following specific areas:
The geological records of Earth surface processes in relation to environmental change, including the interpretation and use such records to reconstruct landforms, landscapes and landscape evolution
The application of quantitative retrodictive and predictive models to support such interpretations
The impacts of past, current and future environmental change upon Earth surface processes, and the influences of core drivers such as climate, tectonics, seismic and volcanic activity, vegetation and ecology, ice sheets and glaciers; and oceans and sea level
Weathering and the fluxes of material, both solid and in solution, and their contribution to landscape development and landform evolution
The full range of environments associated with the Earth, including glacial, paraglacial, periglacial; hillslopes; soils; Critical Zones; fluvial; karst; aeolian; estuarine and coastal;
Planetary geomorphology and the interpretation of planetary processes and landforms in the light of our understanding of Earth surface processes and landforms and the emerging knowledge of the planets themselves
The relationship between Earth surface processes and management
State of the art developments in techniques that enable new geomorphological questions to be asked, including remote sensing (airborne and ground-based) GIS, mathematical modelling and analysis, dating
Geomorphological theory, including conceptual development
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms does not publish case studies of particular landforms or landscapes unless they have wider systematic relevance.
