Geotectonics is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on the study of the Earth's lithosphere and the large-scale processes that shape the structure and movement of its rigid outer shell. Covers general and regional tectonics, structural geology, geodynamics, and experimental tectonics. Explores the relationship of tectonics to the earth's deep structure, magmatism, metamorphism, and mineral resources. Welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
