Journals in Geophysics

This selection encompasses seismic, gravitational, magnetic, and electromagnetic techniques used to investigate Earth's interior and surface. It supports geophysicists, exploration geologists, and environmental scientists in resource discovery, seismic risk assessment, and planetary studies. Combining theoretical models, innovative imaging methods, and real-world applications, these resources enable precise geophysical analysis and advance our understanding of Earth's hidden structures.

  • Journal of African Earth Sciences

    • ISSN: 1464-343X
    The Journal of African Earth Sciences sees itself as the prime international interdisciplinary geological journal for all aspects of the Earth Sciences about the African plate. Papers dealing with peripheral areas are welcome if they demonstrate a tight link with Africa.The Journal publishes high quality, peer-reviewed scientific papers. It is devoted primarily to research papers but short communications relating to new developments of broad interest, reviews and book reviews will also be considered. Papers must have international appeal and should present work of more regional than local significance and dealing with well identified and justified scientific questions. Specialised technical papers, analytical or exploration reports must be avoided. Papers on applied geology should preferably be linked to such core disciplines and must be addressed to a more general geoscientific audience.The journal is closely affiliated with the Geological Society of AfricaThis journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 13 (Climate Action)
