Scope
Climate issues are very much at the forefront of earth and environmental sciences, and despite much effort to communicate climate science to decision makers and to the public, there is still a wide gap between the messages that the scientific community wishes to convey and the way these messages are received and interpreted by stakeholders and the general public. Interdisciplinary Climate Studies is thus aimed at publishing innovative insights into climate-relevant processes within the atmospheric component of the climate system, while highlighting interlinks and feedback to other components of the system, such as the oceans, cryosphere, or biosphere. Subjects covered include a range of processes that occur in the atmosphere and are relevant for the evolution of climate, from the past through to the present and to the future. A particular focus will be given to what is considered by many members of the research community to be the “Grand Challenges” in climate science, such as the cascading set of mechanisms leading to sea-level rise, cryosphere-atmosphere exchanges, particularly in the Polar regions, the role of clouds and aerosols, the emerging field of bio-aerosols (particularly of oceanic origin) and their role in both atmospheric radiative and cloud condensation processes, the water cycle, extreme weather and climate events, the economic and social impacts that are generated by such extremes, and the attribution of shifts in process behavior to long-term climatic change. Articles pertaining to data access, handling and exchange, as well as those that may be in answer to controversial or skeptical viewpoints will also be welcome. The journal will enable cross-cutting topics in climate change and climate impacts research to be discussed in ways that other journals may not be able to achieve. The idea of using Frontiers in Environmental Science to talk about climate is, indeed, not to duplicate the contents of other specialized journals but to use the online platform of the journal to trigger further thinking and debate on the complexities of highly non-linear systems that gravitate around climate science.Indexed in: Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, SAO/NASA ADS, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Emerging Sources Citation Index, CLOCKSS

Interdisciplinary Climate Studies welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Policy Brief, Protocols, Review, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Interdisciplinary Climate Studies, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Interdisciplinary Climate Studies will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Ecology and Evolution, Environmental Science and Earth Science.
