Aims & Scope

Geoscience Canada is the main technical publication of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC ® ). The GAC is a national learned society that makes significant contributions to the promotion and development of the geological sciences in Canada through publications, awards, conferences, meetings and exhibitions. Geoscience Canada is a quarterly journal that emphasizes diversity of material and the presentation of informative technical articles that can be understood not only by specialist research workers, but by non-specialists in other branches of the Earth Sciences. We aim to be a journal that you want to read, and which will leave you better informed, rather than more confused. We publish several different types of articles and emphasize content that is thematic and topical and which has implications across and beyond Canada. Much of our content has a Canadian connection or focus, but we welcome submissions from all over the world and in all disciplines of Earth Sciences. Our goal is to grow beyond our borders and to diversify across the wide spectrum of our modern science.
