INTRODUCTION
International Journal of Earth & Environmental Sciences (IJEES) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by the Global Research & Publishing Database (GRPD). The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality, innovative, and impactful research that advances scientific understanding of the Earth, environmental systems, natural resources, and the complex ecological challenges facing our planet. IJEES provides a global platform for researchers, scientists, environmental specialists, geoscientists, policymakers, sustainability experts, and industry professionals to disseminate original research, applied studies, theoretical developments, and interdisciplinary investigations that contribute to environmental protection, sustainable development, and planetary resilience.
The journal recognizes that environmental challenges in the 21st century require interdisciplinary scientific approaches that integrate earth sciences, environmental technologies, climate research, sustainability studies, engineering solutions, and policy frameworks. IJEES therefore encourages research that combines diverse scientific methods and innovative approaches to understand Earth systems, address climate change, protect biodiversity, manage natural resources, and develop sustainable solutions for current and future generations.
IJEES welcomes original research articles, review articles, systematic reviews, case studies, methodological studies, conceptual papers, policy analyses, and interdisciplinary research contributions covering a wide range of areas including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, climate science, atmospheric studies, hydrology, oceanography, environmental pollution, biodiversity conservation, renewable energy, sustainable development, environmental technology, remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), environmental management, and ecological research.
The journal aims to bridge the gap between fundamental earth and environmental research and practical applications by promoting studies that support environmental decision-making, sustainable resource management, climate resilience, and evidence-based policies. Through collaboration among researchers, academic institutions, government organizations, industries, and environmental communities, IJEES seeks to contribute to global efforts toward environmental sustainability and ecological balance.
As a fully Open Access journal, IJEES is committed to ensuring that environmental and scientific knowledge remains freely accessible to researchers, educators, students, policymakers, environmental organizations, and the public worldwide. By removing barriers to access, the journal promotes international collaboration, accelerates scientific discovery, supports sustainable innovation, and increases the global impact of earth and environmental research.
