About this journal
Tellus is an international, open-access journal publishing high-quality research on the processes and interactions that shape the Earth system in a changing climate. With a broad scope spanning atmosphere, ocean, land, cryosphere, and biosphere, the journal highlights work that advances scientific understanding, fosters cross-disciplinary connections, and informs global perspectives on past, present, and future climate. Guided by an international editorial board, Tellus welcomes original research, perspectives, assessments, and commentaries that push the boundaries of Earth system science and strengthen the global research community.
We aim to publish articles within this broad scope that have potential long-lasting impact on Earth system science. To this aim, the editorial and peer review decision process prioritizes quality rather than speed and is highly selective. Even if only a small fraction of the submitted manuscripts is accepted, we strive to provide all authors with constructive feedback on their work.
Topics covered in Tellus include:
Atmospheric sciences | Oceanography | Hydrology | Biogeosciences | Climate dynamics | Ecology | Earth system history.
All published articles are made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication with a CC BY 4.0 license.

Transition of Tellus A and Tellus B into new journal Tellus
Tellus A and Tellus B are in the process of being relaunched and consolidated into a single, unified scientific journal: Tellus.
This relaunch marks a return to the journal’s original identity, with an expanded scope to reflect the interconnected nature of Earth system science. The new Tellus will publish research that advances understanding of how biological, chemical, and physical processes shape the Earth system—past, present, and future—in the context of global climate.
New submissions:
- To support a smooth transition, Tellus A and Tellus B will be closed for new submissions on 15 September 2025.
- Authors are encouraged to prepare submissions for the unified Tellus, which will open on 15 October 2025.
Transition rules for submitted manuscripts:
- The issue of accepted publication of manuscripts submitted to Tellus A or B before September 15 will be addressed in a dialogue between the editorial teams and the submitting author.
We thank all contributors for their continued engagement and look forward to supporting the global Earth science community through the renewed Tellus journal.
