Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Geology publishes research on Earth's geological processes and history. Recent articles focus on the geochemistry and petrology of igneous and metamorphic rocks, including granitoids and ophiolites. Studies also investigate sediment composition, weathering, and soft-sediment deformation structures in various geological settings. The journal explores methods for analyzing geological data, such as mass spectrometry and machine learning, and examines geomorphic tools for understanding erosion and uplift rates in orogenic systems.
