Earth Interactions: Earth Interactions exploits the capabilities of electronic communications technology to add value to the publication of research results in the interdisciplinary earth sciences. The journal publishes articles dealing with the interactions between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere in the context of global issues or global change. It provides authors with the opportunity to use animations and other visualisation techniques that traditional publications cannot accommodate.
