Aims & Scope

The journal publishes original theoretical and methodological articles on geology, geophysics, and geochemistry, results of studying the composition and structure of the Earth's crust and mantle, processes of formation and general patterns of mineral resource distribution, as well as the results of developing and applying geological and geophysical methods for their identification. The journal's subject matter corresponds to the following fields of knowledge according to the current nomenclature of the Higher Attestation Commission: 1.6.1 General and regional geology. Geotectonics and geodynamics; 1.6.4 Mineralogy, crystallography. Geochemistry, geochemical methods of prospecting for mineral resources; 1.6.6 Hydrogeology; 1.6.9 Geophysics; 1.6.10 Geology, prospecting, and exploration of solid mineral resources, mineralogy; 1.6.11 Geology, prospecting, exploration, and exploitation of oil and gas fields; 1.6.12 Physical geography and biogeography, soil geography, and landscape geochemistry; 1.6.20 Geoinformatics, cartography; 1.6.21 Geoecology; 2.8.6 Geomechanics, rock destruction, mine aerogasdynamics, and mining thermophysics; 2.8.8 Geotechnology, mining machinery, as well as related scientific fields. For regional works, preference is given to articles that reveal various aspects of the geological structure of Southern Russia and adjacent territories. In accordance with the classification of sciences adopted in international citation systems Scopus and Web of Science, articles for publication in the journal "Geology and Geophysics of Southern Russia" are accepted in the following branches and groups of sciences: Earth and Planetary Sciences; Environmental Science.
