Measuring and monitoring the Earth, environmental processes and change, as well as the interaction between humans and the Earth has led to the creation of a growing body of large data sets.
‘Big Earth data’ are gradually becoming a new engine of scientific discovery and knowledge innovation for Earth System Science.
Big Earth Data is an interdisciplinary Open Access journal. It aims to provide an efficient and high quality platform for promoting ‘big data’ sharing, processing and analyses, thereby revolutionising the cognition of the Earth’s systems.
Big Earth Data primarily features the fundamentals of ‘big Earth data’ handling, as well as the channels and technologies used for ‘big Earth data’ collection, management, analysis and visualisation. To showcase the benefits of data-driven research, submissions on the applications of 'big Earth data' in exploring the Earth's history and its future evolution are highly encouraged.

The journal publishes research topics on 'big data' studies across the entire spectrum of Earth Sciences. The topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to:
Earth Observation
Geography
Geology
Atmospheric Science
Marine Science
Geophysics
Geochemistry
Big Earth Data is committed to publishing quality manuscripts via a fast, fair, and rigorous peer review process.
