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 arth 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 on
geophysical 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.
• Comprehensive review articles which provide an overview of significant subjects.
In addition Special Issues devoted to a single topic, and edited by an authority in that field, are also published.
