Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geosphere publishes research on the Earth's structure, evolution, and processes. Articles focus on tectonic settings, including fault systems, extensional corridors, and orogens, and their influence on sedimentation and basin development. The journal also covers topics such as metamorphic conditions, magmatic events, and the thermal structure of the lithosphere, often utilizing geochronology and isotopic analyses to constrain timing and tectonic history.
