Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on the geological evolution of sedimentary basins, including their stratigraphy, sedimentology, and structural controls on hydrocarbon accumulation. Studies also investigate the petrogenesis and geochemical characteristics of magmatic and volcanic rocks, as well as the analysis of mineral resources and their formation environments. Furthermore, the journal covers research on coastal geomorphology, landslide susceptibility, and the application of artificial intelligence and multi-criteria decision analysis in geological hazard assessment and resource management.
