Aims & Scope

Journal of Volcanology and Seismology is an international peer-reviewed journal focusing on volcanic, seismic, geodynamic, and magmatic processes. Publishes studies on present-day land and submarine volcanic activity, Neogene–Quaternary volcanism, and the geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes. Also publishes studies on the mechanisms of plutonic activity, geothermal systems in volcanic regions, and seismological monitoring. Surveys earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and techniques for predicting them. Welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
