  • Sedimentary Geology

    • ISSN: 0037-0738
    An International Journal of Pure and Applied SedimentologySedimen... Geology is a journal that rapidly publishes high quality, original research and review papers that cover all aspects of sediments and sedimentary rocks at all spatial and temporal scales. Submitted papers must make a SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION to the field of study and must place the research in a BROAD CONTEXT , so that it is of interest to the DIVERSE, INTERNATIONAL READERSHIP of the journal. Papers that are largely descriptive in nature, of limited scope or local geographical significance, or based on limited data will not be considered for publication.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals

  • Quaternary Geochronology

    • ISSN: 1871-1014
    The International Research and Review Journal on Advances in Quaternary Dating TechniquesQuaternary Geochronology is an international journal devoted to the publication of the highest-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dating methods applicable to the Quaternary Period - the last 2.6 million years of Earth history. Reliable ages are fundamental to place changes in climates, landscapes, flora and fauna - including the evolution and ecological impact of humans - in their correct temporal sequence, and to understand the tempo and mode of geological and biological processes.Some Quaternary dating methods are well established, while others are in the early stages of development. Quaternary Geochronology provides a readily accessible platform to rapidly communicate the latest developments and applications in these emerging fields, as well as improvements made to more traditional methods of age determination. New technological capabilities are providing a greater understanding of the underlying principles of age estimation and are stimulating innovative applications.Quatern... Geochronology will publish research in the following areas: • Principles of geochronological methods • Advances in methodology, analytical procedures and instrumentation • Methodological standardisations and inter-laboratory comparisons • Calibrations and comparisons of different methods • Novel and groundbreaking applications in all fields of Quaternary researchThe following contributions will be accepted: • Original research papers and case studies • Review papers • Special thematic issues • Viewpoint articles • Letters to the Editors (including comments on papers published in Quaternary Geochronology) • Book reviewsThis journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals

  • Journal of Structural Geology

    • ISSN: 0191-8141
    The Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented investigations about structural geology using appropriate combinations of analog and digital field data, seismic reflection data, satellite-derived data, geometric analysis, kinematic analysis, laboratory experiments, computer visualizations, and analogue or numerical modelling on all scales. Contributions are encouraged to draw perspectives from rheology, rock mechanics, geophysics,metamorph... sedimentology, petroleum geology, economic geology, geodynamics, planetary geology, tectonics and neotectonics to provide a more powerful understanding of deformation processes and systems. Given the visual nature of the discipline, supplementary materials that portray the data and analysis in 3-D or quasi 3-D manners, including the use of videos, and/or graphical abstracts can significantly strengthen the impact of contributions.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals

  • New Astronomy Reviews

    • ISSN: 1387-6473
    New Astronomy Reviews publishes review articles in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics, covering solar physics, solar system, planetary systems, stellar, galactic, extragalactic, and cosmology papers in any wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray. Theoretical, observational, and instrumental review papers are welcomed. However, papers with substantial new research are deemed as out of the journal scope and shall be submitted to other regular journals.In addition to regular reviews, this journal also welcomes focus reviews. These are shorter papers reviewing the recent results in a field where important advancements have been made in the past few years. It should present only recent results, without attempting a complete review of the topic. Focus reviews are intended to present an agile compendium of recent advancements and their discussion.

  • Marine Micropaleontology

    • ISSN: 0377-8398
    Marine Micropaleontology is an international journal publishing original, innovative and significant scientific papers in all fields related to marine microfossils, including ecology and paleoecology, biology and paleobiology, paleoceanography and paleoclimatology, environmental monitoring, taphonomy, evolution and molecular phylogeny. The journal strongly encourages the publication of articles in which marine microfossils and/or their chemical composition are used to solve fundamental geological, environmental and biological problems. However, it does not publish purely stratigraphic or taxonomic papers. In Marine Micropaleontology, a special section is dedicated to short papers on new methods and protocols using marine microfossils. We solicit special issues on hot topics in marine micropaleontology and review articles on timely subjects.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 13, (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life below water)

  • Engineering Geology

    • ISSN: 0013-7952
    Engineering Geology is an international interdisciplinary journal bridging the fields of the earth sciences and engineering, particularly geological and geotechnical engineering. The focus of the journal is on geological or engineering studies that are of interest to engineering geologists, whether their initial training is in geology or civil/mining engineering. The studies published in this journal must show relevance to engineering, environmental concerns, and safety.Sample topics of interest include but are not limited to applied geomorphology and structural geology, applied geophysics and geochemistry, environmental geology and hydrogeology, land use planning, natural hazards, remote sensing techniques, soil and rock mechanics and applied geotechnical engineering.Paper types considered are original research articles, case histories, and comprehensive reviews. Case studies, in particular, should emphasize why the paper is of interest to the international readership of this journal, and/or what new or novel research or theoretical methods are being presented.The journal is intended for academic scientists, industry and applied researchers, and policy and decision makers.
