ZDGG publishes original contributions and review papers from all disciplines of geoscience research, with emphasis on the geology of Europe and applied topics in the Earth sciences. ZDGG invites the submission of English and German manuscripts which present new insights into geology, paleontology, geophysics and mineralogy, economic geology, on sedimentological, tectonic and hydro- and environmental geological problems, expand on older insights, or present new data and approaches (e.g. 3D-modelling).
