An International Journal on the Geophysical, Geochemical, Petrological, Economic and Environmental Aspects of Volcanology and Geothermal ResearchAn international research journal with focus on volcanic and geothermal processes and their impact on the environment and society.Submission of papers covering the following aspects of volcanology and geothermal research are encouraged:(1) Geophysical aspects of volcanic systems: physical properties of volcanic rocks, silicate melts, and magmas; heat flow studies; volcano seismology, geodesy and remote sensing.(2) Volcano hazard and risk research: hazard zonation methodology, development of forecasting tools; assessment techniques for vulnerability and impact.(3) Computational modeling and experimental simulation of magmatic and hydrothermal processes: eruption dynamics; magma transport and storage; plume dynamics and ash dispersal; lava flow dynamics; hydrothermal fluid flow; thermodynamics of aqueous fluids and melts.(4) Geological and geochemical measurements of active volcanic systems and volcanic processes: volcano stratigraphy, eruptive history; evolution of volcanic landforms; eruption style and progress; dispersal patterns of lava and ash; analysis of real-time eruption observations, volatile compositions and degassing; textural analysis of volcanic rocks.(5) Hydrology, geochemistry and measurement of magmatic, volcanic and hydrothermal fluids (the latter only if these propose novel aspects and processes of volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems); monitoring and modelling of volcanic gas emissions (including direct, in-situ, and remote measurements) and diffuse degassing (soils and springs/aquifers); crater lakes; hydrothermal mineralization.The journal does not accept geothermal or other research papers that are not related to volcanism.
The International Journal of Integrated Solid Earth SciencesThe prime focus of Tectonophysics will be high-impact original research and reviews in the fields of kinematics, structure, composition, and dynamics of the solid earth at all scales. Tectonophysics particularly encourages submission of papers based on the integration of a multitude of geophysical, geological, geochemical, geodynamic, and geotectonic methods with focus on:• Kinematics and deformation of the lithosphere based on space geodesy (e.g. GPS, InSAR), neoteoctonic studies, tectonic geomorphology, and geochronology; • Structure, composition, and thermal state of the crust and mantle and their evolution in various time scales based on geophysical and geochemical studies; • Structural geology, folding, faulting, fracturing, analysis of stress and strain, and rock mechanics; • Orogenesis, tectonism, thermochronology, surficial processes, land-climate interactions, and Lithospheric-asthenospheric interactions; • Active tectonics, seismology, mechanisms of earthquakes and volcanism, geological hazards and their societal impacts; • Rheology and numerical modelling of geodynamic processes; • Laboratory measurements of physical and chemical parameters of crustal and mantle rocks, and their application to geophysics and petrology; • Innovative development, including testing, of new methods in geophysics and geodynamics.Tectonophysics welcomes contributions of three types:• Regular papers. • Fast track papers for short, innovative rapid communication, which will usually be reviewed within three weeks after submission. More information about this paper type can be found within the Guide for Authors. • Comprehensive invited review articles which provide an overview of significant subjects.Abstracts of maximum 300 words describing the objectives of the research, and the rationale and methods (if relevant), should be included for all article types: regular, fast-track and invited review.In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.
