New Beginning for Tellus – An Earth System Science Journal by Scientists for Scientists

Tellus, originally founded in the late 1940s by Carl-Gustaf Rossby, is relaunched as a community-driven Earth system science journal managed by research-active scientists. The new Tellus builds on its historical legacy while responding to the growing need for an integrated understanding of the processes governing Earth’s atmosphere, ocean, land, cryosphere, and biosphere. As an independent, not-for-profit, diamond open-access journal, Tellus aims to promote scientific integrity, transparency, and scholarly exchange by prioritizing quality and community oversight in the publishing process. The journal welcomes original research articles, perspectives, and synthesis papers that advance interdisciplinary understanding of Earth system processes and climate dynamics. By fostering meaningful interaction between authors, editors, and reviewers, Tellus seeks to stimulate curiosity, encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue, and support the dissemination of influential research for the global Earth system science community.
