Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the tectonic evolution of Earth's crust, focusing on orogenic belts and accretionary terrains. Studies investigate the processes of continental accretion, collision, and crustal thickening, often involving the analysis of basement structures, ophiolites, and metamorphic rocks. The research also examines the history of deformation, magmatism, and metamorphism within these geological settings.
