Aims and Scope
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open access publication of high quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth System Science approach, NHESS serves a wide and diversified community of research scientists, practitioners and decision makers concerned with natural hazards detection, monitoring and modelling, vulnerability and risk assessment, and the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies, including economical, societal and educational aspects.
The scope of NHESS includes:
- the study of the evolution of natural systems towards extreme conditions, and the detection and monitoring of precursors of the evolution;
- the detection, monitoring and modelling of natural phenomena, and the integration of measurements and models for the understanding and forecasting of the behaviour and the spatial and temporal evolution of hazardous natural events, and their consequences;
- the design, development, experimentation and validation of new techniques, methods and tools for the detection, mapping, monitoring and modelling of natural hazards and their human, environmental and societal consequences;
- the design, implementation and critical evaluation of mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce the impact of hazardous natural events on human-made structures and infrastructure, to reduce vulnerability, and to increase resilience of individuals and societies; and
- the analysis of the impact of climatic and environmental changes on natural hazards and their consequences.
For peer-reviewed publication NHESS considers research articles, review articles, brief communications, comments & replies, and corrigenda. NHESS also publishes solicited book reviews. Papers submitted to NHESS can address different techniques and approaches including theory, modelling, experiments, case studies and instrumentations. The journal covers the following broad subject areas, which are used to categorise the paper for review:
- Atmospheric, Meteorological and Climatological Hazards;
- Sea, Ocean and Coastal Hazards;
- Hydrological Hazards;
- Landslides and Debris Flows Hazards;
- Earthquake Hazards;
- Volcanic Hazards;
- Other Hazards (e.g., Glacial and Snow Hazards, Karst, Wildfires Hazards, and Medical Geo-Hazards);
- Databases, GIS, Remote Sensing, Early Warning Systems and Monitoring Technologies;
- Risk Assessment, Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies, Socioeconomic and Management Aspects;
- Dissemination, Education, Outreach and Teaching.
This list is not exhaustive or ordered by rank, and the journal will consider submissions on other subject areas. Contributions dealing with multi-disciplinary aspects of natural hazards and their consequences are welcome.
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences exploits an innovative two-stage publication process designed to (a) provide a lasting record of scientific discussion on the journal topics, (b) maximise the effectiveness and transparency of the review process, (c) enable rapid publication of new scientific results and achievements, and (d) make scientific publications freely accessible.
In the first stage, papers that pass a preliminary editorial screening are immediately published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences Discussions (NHESSD). The submissions are then subject to an Interactive Public Discussion. In this discussion phase, the referees' comments (anonymous or identified), additional short comments by members of the scientific community (identified), and the authors' replies to the editor, the referees and peers are also published in NHESSD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, following acceptance, the final revised papers are published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS).
To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, NHESSD and NHESS are both registered with an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), permanently archived, and fully citable.
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences also provides an effective way of publishing special issues focused on specific topics. For each special issue the individual papers are published as soon as they are accepted, and they are linked electronically (for more information, see Special Issues).

Instructions to Authors
General Terms
While Copernicus Publications and the European Geosciences Union welcome any original scientific work for publication, we expect that:
- the work submitted for publication has not been published before, except in the form of abstracts, preprints, published lectures, theses, proceedings-type publications, or discussion papers that have not undergone full journal peer-review, and it is not under consideration for peer-reviewed publication elsewhere;
- its publication has been approved by all author(s) and, tacitly or explicitly, by the responsible authorities and/or the institutes where the work has been carried out;
- if and when the manuscript is accepted for peer-reviewed publication, it may be re-used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
License but not submitted for peer-reviewed publication elsewhere;
- the authors have secured the right to reproduce any material in his/her/their work that has already been published elsewhere;
- the authors agree with the License and Copyright Agreement;
- the authors agree with the Article Processing Charges valid on the date of manuscript submission (receipt of electronic files);
- the authors agree and have obeyed the General Obligations for Authors;
- the authors are aware that discussion papers remain permanently archived, accessible and citeable;
- with regard to the evaluation of manuscripts, the Editors and the referees will follow their guidelines as summarized in the General Obligations for Editors and the General Obligations for Referees.
- The NHESS editorial board reserves the right to remove referee reports and any other comments if they contain personal insults.
- The use of general descriptive names, trade names, trademarks, etc., in the articles of this journal, even if not specifically identified, does not imply that these names are not protected by the relevant laws and regulations.
- While the advice and information in this journal is believed to be true and accurate at the date each article is published, neither the authors, the editors, nor Copernicus Publications can accept any legal responsibility for any errors or omissions that may be made. Copernicus Publications makes no warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the material contained herein.
General Guidelines for Manuscripts & Submission
- In general, contributions should be short but self-contained, concentrating on new results or techniques. The length of an article is not limited with regard to its number of pages.
- Papers should be clear, concise, and written in English. They must conform to the organization and style of the journal with correct spelling and good sentence structure. Correct language is the responsibility of the author(s), although the Editor(s) and the referees are kindly asked to help in language editing of the manuscript if necessary. However, the final version of the manuscript accepted for peer-reviewed journal publication will receive complimentary English language copy-editing.
- Authors are kindly requested to consider the manuscript evaluation criteria of the journal to meet the quality standards and to reduce the peer-review processing time.
- Before submission manuscripts need to be registered. This process requires author details and also a set of keywords, describing the manuscript. In return the author(s) receive a manuscript number and information on how to upload the files containing the text, figures and additional material.
- Manuscripts (i.e. work prior to the review process) must be submitted in digital format by using the appropriate upload forms.
- Supplementary material, such as data sets, animated visualisation, etc., should be submitted together with the manuscript for peer-reviewed publication.
- Authors are obliged to suggest 2-5 potential referees. Ideally, suggested reviewers should be scientists who are not closely associated (i.e. at different institutes and who have not collaborated significantly in the past research) with any of the authors. Should this not be the case, please indicate this. In any case, all suggested reviewers should be able to offer fair and impartial reviews of the material being submitted.
