Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Organic Geochemistry publishes peer-reviewed research on geochemistry where organic compounds are central. The journal covers subjects in the geosciences broadly based on organic chemistry, including molecular and isotopic geochemistry, and involving geology, biogeochemistry, environmental geochemistry, chemical oceanography, and hydrology. Its scope includes research on organic matter in ancient strata, recent sediments, the aqueous environment, and soils, as well as the role of organics in the geochemical cycling of elements.
