Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Terra Nova publishes short, innovative papers across the solid Earth and planetary sciences, including geology, geophysics, and geochemistry, and extending to the fluid envelopes. Recent articles focus on tectonic settings, basin analysis, and paleogeodynamics, including continental collision, strike-slip shear zones, and arc magmatism. Research also investigates lithosphere and upper-mantle structure, seismic activity, fault mechanics, and fluid influences on seismicity. Additionally, the journal covers paleoclimate reconstructions, weathering processes, and the evolution of planetary materials and early Earth conditions.
