Journal Guide

Studia geophysica et geodaetica is an international journal covering all aspects of geophysics, meteorology and climatology, and of geodesy. Studia publishes theoretical and methodological contributions, which are of interest for academia as well as industry. Published by the Institute of Geophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, it was founded in 1956. The journal offers fast publication of contributions in regular as well as topical issues.

Surveys in Geophysics publishes refereed overview articles on physical, chemical and biological processes occurring within the Earth, on its surface, in its atmosphere and in the near-Earth space environment, including relations with other bodies in the solar system. Observations, their interpretation, theory and modeling are presented in relation to relevant disciplines in the Geosciences and related areas.Published articles present balanced and well constructed reviews of recent advances in areas of topical interest, written for the broad community of earth scientists in academia, government and industry. The subjects covered in Surveys in Geophysics comprise all aspects of the solid Earth, geodesy, oceans and atmosphere, meteorology and climate, hydrology, environmental issues, solar-terrestrial and space physics, plus the physics of the Moon and the terrestrial-type planets. The Managing Editor of Surveys in Geophysics is Michael J. Rycroft, CAESAR Consultancy, Cambridge, UK.

As the premier scientific association for the Geosciences, AGU's highly respected, peer-reviewed journals attract submissions from leaders across the field. With two journals (Geophysical Research Letters and Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres) ranked among the top ten most-highly cited research publications on climate change over the past decade, AGU's editors apply rigorous standards to ensure highest-quality articles in every issue.

The prime focus of Tectonophysics will be high-impact original research and reviews in the fields of kinematics, structure, composition, and dynamics of the solid earth at all scales. Tectonophysics particularly encourages submission of papers based on the integration of a multitude of geophysical, geological, geochemical, geodynamic, and geotectonic methods with focus on:• Kinematics and deformation of the lithosphere based on space geodesy (e.g. GPS, InSAR), neoteoctonic studies, tectonic geomorphology, and geochronology;• Structure, composition, and thermal state of the crust and mantle and their evolution in various time scales based ongeophysical and geochemical studies;• Structural geology, folding, faulting, fracturing, analysis of stress and strain, and rock mechanics;• Orogenesis, tectonism, thermochronology, surficial processes, land-climate interactions, and Lithospheric-asthenospheric interactions;• Active tectonics, seismology, mechanisms of earthquakes and volcanism, geological hazards and their societal impacts;• Rheology and numerical modelling of geodynamic processes;• Laboratory measurements of physical and chemical parameters of crustal and mantle rocks, and their application to geophysics and petrology;• Innovative development, including testing, of new methods in geophysics and geodynamics.Tectonophysics welcomes contributions of three types:• Regular papers.• Fast track papers for short, innovative rapid communication, which will usually be reviewed within three weeks after submission. More information about this paper type can be found within the Guide for Authors.• Comprehensive invited review articles which provide an overview of significant subjects.Abstracts of maximum 300 words describing the objectives of the research, and the rationale and methods (if relevant), should be included for all article types: regular, fast-track and invited review.In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.

The Leading Edge complements Geophysics, SEG's peer-reviewed publication long unrivalled as the world's most respected vehicle for dissemination of developments in exploration and development geophysics. TLE is a gateway publication, introducing new geophysical theory, instrumentation, and established practices to scientists in a wide range of geoscience disciplines. Most material is presented in a semitechnical manner that minimizes mathematical theory and emphasizes practical applications. TLE also serves as SEG's publication venue for official society business.
