Journal of Structural Geology is a monthly, English-language , peer-reviewed journal with a focus on structural geology .

publication

Journal of Structural Geology, abbreviated J. Struct. Geol. , Has been published by Elsevier since 1979. The editor-in-chief of the journal is Cees W. Passchier ( University of Mainz ).

Goal setting

Journal of Structural Geology publishes process-oriented studies in structural geology. The following procedures and techniques are used for this purpose:

  • Analog and digital terrain data
  • Reflection seismics
  • Satellite-based remote sensing
  • Geometric and kinematic modeling
  • Laboratory experiments
  • Computer simulations
  • Analog and numerical model calculations for all orders of magnitude

Contributions should include aspects from rheology , rock mechanics , geophysics , metamorphosis , sedimentology , petroleum geology , economic geology , geodynamics , planetary geology , tectonics and neotectonics to a better understanding of deformation processes. Since structural geology is a very visual discipline, the use of videos and graphic abstractions can help clarify three-dimensional relationships.

Impact Factor

According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal's impact factor in 2014 was 2.884.
