A habitable, fairer and more connected world
We highlight Earth Science research for a habitable world, lead publishing programs that advocate for a fairer world, and create opportunities for the intersection of ideas for a more connected world.
Habitable world
New, innovative thinking supported by diverse Earth Science research ensures a sustainable world where societies can thrive.
Our annual conference, Habitable Earth – Geoscience for Sustainability, is a forum where researchers across the globe meet to share and discuss major scientific themes that span academic frontiers and research hotspots.
Fairer world
Global problems require global solutions and that means diversity in thought, perspective, and approach.
One demonstration of our commitment is the 2024 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Award for Early-Career Women Scientists in the Developing World for innovative research that meets the challenge of improved water quality, an issue that disproportionately affects women and girls around the world.
Connected world
Facilitating connections within and between disciplines, across regions, and at all career stages is key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
