Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (ESPL)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms is a long‑established, high‑impact scientific journal dedicated to advancing understanding of how surface processes shape landscapes across time and space. It publishes original research articles, rapid communications, critical reviews, and discussions that explore the dynamics of natural environments — from rivers and coasts to deserts, glacial terrains, hillslopes and deltas. The journal embraces interdisciplinary research that integrates physical geography, geology, geomorphology and related Earth sciences to explain mechanisms driving landscape evolution, sediment transport, erosion and deposition, and responses to climate or human‑induced environmental change. As the flagship journal of the British Society for Geomorphology, it serves an international community of researchers, educators and professionals. Its content supports both foundational theory and applied science relevant to environmental management, hazard assessment, and sustainability. Through rigorous peer review and frequent publication, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms remains a primary outlet for cutting‑edge studies on Earth’s surface dynamics and landform development.
