Evidence in Earth Science (EIES) is an earth sciences journal that publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed research across a wide range of topics within the field. The journal covers a wide range of Earth science topics, including but not limitted to geophysics, geology, tectonics, hydrology, climate change, oceanography, disaster management, and environmental sustainability. It provides a platform for evidence-based solutions to global challenges, offering insights from both fundamental and applied research. This journal includes 14 sections, which are listed as follows: Geophysics and Seismology, Geology and Tectonics, Regional Hydro-climate Interactions and Services, Climate Change and Water Cycle Adaptation, Water Engineering and Disaster Control, Hydrology and Water Resources Management, Environmental Impact and Sustainability, Cryosphere Sciences, Geochemistry, Disaster Investigation and Hazard Evaluation, Resources and Energy Sciences, Earth Science Data, Earth Science Theories and Methods, and Earth Science Communications.

Current Issue

Vol. 2 No. 03 (2026): Evidence in Earth Science

This issue of Evidence in Earth Science brings together rigorous research at the intersection of geomechanics, mining engineering, and hazard assessment. The featured study investigates the mechanisms of abrupt surface subsidence induced by repeated mining beneath residual coal pillars, using Tashan Coal Mine in China as a case study. By integrating field evidence with mechanical analysis, the authors clarify how residual pillar instability triggers sudden ground movement, offering practical implications for subsidence prediction and mine safety management. Such work reflects the journal's commitment to advancing evidence-based research in Earth and environmental sciences and to translating scientific findings into engineering practice. We hope this issue stimulates further interdisciplinary inquiry into geohazards and sustainable resource extraction.
