Scientific Research

Hydrosphere, launched in 2025, is co-sponsored by the State Key Laboratory of Hydroscience and Engineering, Tsinghua University and the State Key Laboratory of Plateau Ecology and Agriculture, Qinghai University, with Professor Wang Guangqian, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, serving as Editor-in-Chief. The journal adopts an open peer review model, publishing high-quality research papers and reviews, along with related review comments, thereby providing an international high-end open exchange platform for theoretical, statistical, numerical, experimental, and field research achievements on the hydrosphere, particularly papers making significant progress in the movement and energy transformation processes of water in the hydrosphere and its interactions with other spheres.

Carbonsphere is an open access journal launched in 2025, with Professor Liu Zhu from the Department of Earth System Science at Tsinghua University and leader of the Hydrosphere and Carbon Sphere Interdisciplinary Science Team at the SKLHSE serving as Editor-in-Chief. The journal is sponsored by Qinghai University and Tsinghua University and published by Tsinghua University Press. It particularly focuses on carbon cycle science and the interactions between the carbon sphere and other terrestrial and spatial domains (such as the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere). Carbonsphere publishes cutting-edge research and case studies on various branches of carbon dynamic processes, with the ultimate goal of curbing carbon emissions by 2050 and creating a greener world.
