Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences publishes research on the geological history and evolution of Earth, with a focus on Canada. Recent articles investigate paleontology, including dinosaur and crocodyliform fossils from the Cretaceous and Paleocene periods in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The journal also covers Quaternary stratigraphy and ice sheet dynamics in the Hudson Bay Lowland, as well as structural geology and metamorphism in ancient orogenic belts like the Grenville Province in Ontario and Quebec. Research also includes geochronology, petrogenesis of igneous rocks, and the impact of human settlement on terrestrial ecosystems.
