GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL

In recent years there has been a growth of specialist journals within geological sciences. Nevertheless there is an important role for a journal of an interdisciplinary kind. Traditionally Geological Journal has been such a journal and continues in its aim of promoting interest in all branches of the Geological Sciences through publication of original research papers and review articles. The Journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on regional case studies not only from the British Isles but from any global locality which have conclusions of general interest. Such papers may emphasize aspects across the full spectrum of geological sciences. Sedimentology - facies analysis regional sedimentary environments basin analysis process of sedimentation general palaeogeographic reconstruction diagenesis. Palaeontology - palaeontology biostratigraphy community palaeoecology functional morphology biogeography evolutionary palaeontology taphonomony ichnology. Structural Geology - strain analysis fabrics regional structural geology global tectonics experimental deformation folds faults brittle fracture. Geophysics - seismology gravity magnetics electrical electromagnetic bore-hole logging application of geophysics to crustal studies marine studies exploration engineering geology mantle studies. Geochemistry - stable and unstable isotope studies major and trace element studies genetic geochemical modelling fluid - rock interaction applied geochemistry. Metamorphic Geology - regional studies determination of T/P fluid composition crystallization paths history of burial and uplift of large metamorphic areas. Igneous Geology - regional studies of igneous provinces magma genesis magma composition magmatic product igneous centres petrological studies.

近年来，地质学领域的专业期刊不断增加。然而，对于一种跨学科的杂志来说，还是有一个重要的角色。传统上，《地质杂志》一直是这样一种杂志，并继续通过发表原始研究论文和评论文章，以促进人们对地质科学各分支学科的兴趣。该杂志特别感兴趣的是发表关于区域案例研究的论文，这些论文不仅来自不列颠群岛，而且来自具有普遍兴趣的结论的任何全球地方。这类论文可能强调地质科学的各个方面。沉积学-相分析区域沉积环境盆地分析沉积过程一般古地理重建成岩作用。古生物学-古生物学生物地层学群落古生态学功能形态学生物地理学进化古生物学taphonomony鱼类学构造地质学-应变分析组构、区域构造地质学、全球构造实验变形、褶皱断裂、脆性断裂。地球物理-地震学重力磁学电磁电孔测井地球物理在地壳研究、海洋研究、勘探工程地质、地幔研究中的应用。地球化学-稳定与不稳定同位素研究专业和微量元素研究遗传地球化学建模流体-岩石相互作用应用地球化学。变质地质学。大型变质区T/P流体组成、结晶路径、埋藏和隆起历史的区域研究。火成岩地质学。火成岩区岩浆成因、岩浆成分、岩浆产物火成岩中心的区域研究。
