Aims and Scope
Aim
The Journal of Rock and Environmental Magnetism aims to publish high-quality research that advances the understanding of magnetic properties in rocks, soils, and sediments, along with their environmental applications. The journal serves as a multidisciplinary platform, fostering collaboration between geophysics, environmental sciences, geology, and related fields. It seeks to highlight both fundamental and applied studies that explore how magnetic properties influence and reflect geological processes, environmental changes, and anthropogenic impacts.
