Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Structural Geology focuses on the analysis of geological structures, including shear zones, fault systems, and tectonic units. It investigates the kinematics, deformation processes, and geochronology associated with these structures, often employing microstructural analysis, seismic reflection data, and geochronological methods to understand their evolution. The journal also examines features like boudinage and fracture networks within various geological contexts.
