Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Geoscience Frontiers publishes research on Earth's systems, including the composition and cycling of carbon in sedimentary basins, the impact of environmental policies on ecological productivity, the origins and evolution of mineral deposits, the metamorphic and tectonic history of ancient cratons, hydrological changes in Arctic regions, subduction zone dynamics, the environmental effects of mining, and the geological processes shaping granite formation and submarine volcanic deposits. The journal also covers studies on natural hazards like floods and landslides, paleoclimate reconstructions, and the economic vulnerability of energy sectors.
