Aims and scopeHydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) is a not-for-profit international open-access journal for the pub-lication of original research in hydrology, placed within a holistic Earth system science context. HESS encour-ages and supports fundamental and applied research that seeks to understand the interactions between wa-ter, earth, ecosystems, and humans. A multi-disciplinary approach is encouraged that enables a broadening of the hydrologic perspective and the advancement of hydro-logic science through the integration with other cognate sciences, and the cross-fertilization across disciplinary boundaries. HESS, therefore, has the ambition to serve not only the community of hydrologists but all earth

and life scientists, water engineers and water mana-gers, who wish to publish original findings on the interac-tions between hydrological processes and other physical, chemical, biological, and societal processes within the Earth system, and the utilization of this holistic under-standing towards sustainable management of water resources, water quality, and water-related natural hazards. The journal publishes research articles, research and technical notes, opinion papers, book reviews, brief communications, and comments on papers published previously in HESS. Papers can address different tech-niques and approaches, including theory, modelling, experiments, or instrumentation.
