Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on geophysical methods applied to diverse geological settings and phenomena. Studies investigate subsurface structures, crustal and mantle dynamics, and the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. Applications include resource exploration (gold, oil, gas, geothermal), hazard assessment (earthquakes, floods), and environmental monitoring (acid mine drainage, pavement integrity). Geophysical techniques employed include magnetic methods, electrical resistivity tomography, seismic tomography, ambient noise tomography, gravity surveying, and analysis of ionospheric and magnetospheric data.
