Solid Earth: an interactive open access journal of the EGU

Solid Earth (https://www.solid-earth.net/) is a not-for-profit open access journal that publishes multidisciplinary research on the composition, structure, and dynamics of the Earth from the surface to the deep interior at all spatial and temporal scales.  The journal invites contributions encompassing observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations in the form of short communications, research articles, method articles, review articles, and discussion and commentaries on all aspects of the solid Earth. 

Our journal celebrated its 15^th anniversary in 2025, an occasion we are celebrating with an anniversary collection that highlights the journal’s scope through a selection of some of the most impactful papers published in Solid Earth.  These are papers that made a “splash” by, for example, stimulating new research directions, developing new methods or highlighting applications. During the last 15 years, the journal also developed opportunities for the community to participate in driving the journal in manners that are suited for all career stages. For instance, tandem reviews allow early career scientists to learn reviewing a manuscript together with a senior supervisor. Also, different levels of editorship allow advancing and experienced scientist to engage. In this open spirit, we look forward to engaging with you during the PICO session, discussing the possibilities and potentials of Solid Earth.
