  • Marine phytoplankton both follow and actively influence the environment they inhabit. Unpacking the complex ecological and biogeochemical roles of these tiny organisms can help reveal the workings of the Earth system.

    Editorial

  • Research efforts from across the geosciences are uncovering how water deep within the Earth affects its fundamental workings.

    Editorial

  • Permeating every aspect of life – and each with a multitude of stories to tell – we celebrate the utility, beauty and wonder of minerals in a new column: all minerals considered.

    Editorial

  • The rise and evolution of land plants fundamentally changed how rocks weathered, altering the biogeochemical and geomorphological processes of Earth with ongoing consequences for plants today.

    Editorial

  • A new ethics framework urges researchers to promote greater equity in global collaborations.

    Editorial

  • The Research Briefing is a new format for communicating research papers to our readers.

    Editorial

  • A limited number of earthquakes and volcanoes, primarily located in global north countries, dominate the collective research output on these geohazards. Efforts to improve monitoring at both local and global levels can address this disparity and reduce the associated risk.

    Editorial

  • Recent missions to the rubble-pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu have revealed asteroid surfaces that continue to be actively modified by a variety of processes while also recording the geologic history of these small bodies.

    Editorial

  • Meeting climate targets will require considerable carbon dioxide removal in addition to emission cuts. To achieve this sustainably, a range of methods are needed to avoid adverse effects and match co-benefits with local needs.

    Editorial

  • Geoscience relies on cross-border research and collaborations that are fragile to geopolitical instability. Tackling human-induced environmental change will require resilience in the face of human-induced adversity.

    Editorial

  • The climatic impacts of aerosols are highly uncertain but critical to understanding human-driven climate change. Monitoring of emissions and a better understanding of the varied pathways through which aerosols can influence climate is vital for reducing these uncertainties.

    Editorial

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many scientific meetings online. Virtual conferences can increase access, but community engagement is needed to foster inclusivity.
