This journal publishes research on Earth's geological processes, including paleoclimate events, tectonic activity, volcanic systems, and the mechanical behavior of geological materials. Studies investigate subsurface fluid circulation, seismic wave attenuation, and the characterization of geological formations for resource exploration and engineering applications. The journal also covers topics related to paleontology, geochronology, and the application of geophysical methods for hazard assessment and subsurface imaging.
