# Nature Geoscience (nature-geoscience)
## Journal positioning
Nature Geoscience is the Nature-portfolio journal for the solid earth, ocean, atmosphere, and planetary sciences, publishing research that represents a significant conceptual advance in understanding Earth as a coupled, dynamic system. The journal serves a broad geoscience readership — geophysicists, geochemists, oceanographers, atmospheric scientists, and planetary scientists — and every paper must have significance beyond its sub-discipline. A paper about mantle dynamics must speak to surface processes researchers; an ocean chemistry paper must connect to climate or biogeochemical cycles. Highly local, purely descriptive, or incrementally improved geochemical datasets without a conceptual advance do not fit. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Nature Portfolio site.
## When to trigger
- The author names Nature Geoscience as the target venue for a high-significance earth or planetary science manuscript.
- A geoscience manuscript reveals a new Earth-system process, mechanism, or coupling that changes how the community thinks about a problem.
- The author is choosing between Nature Geoscience, Nature Climate Change, and specialty journals (JGR, GRL, Earth and Planetary Science Letters) and needs tier/scope guidance.
- The author needs Nature Geoscience's desk-reject heuristics and credible re-routing options.
