Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Brazilian Journal of Geology publishes research on the geological evolution of Brazil, focusing on petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of igneous and metamorphic rocks. It also investigates sedimentary basins, paleontology, and the structural and tectonic history of various geological provinces, including cratons, orogens, and rift systems. The journal addresses topics such as magmatism, crustal recycling, deformation mechanisms, and diagenetic processes in both continental and offshore settings.
