Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Tectonics publishes research on the deformation of the Earth's crust, including fold-and-thrust belts, foreland basins, passive margins, and subduction zones. Studies investigate the timing and mechanisms of continental deformation, mountain building, fault slip rates, and plate interactions. The journal also covers topics such as basin evolution, magmatism, metamorphic events, and the influence of pre-existing crustal heterogeneities on tectonic processes.
