Introduction:
Exploration Geophysics is a leading international journal dedicated to the advancement of applied geophysics, published by Taylor & Francis in collaboration with the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG). Established to disseminate cutting-edge research, the journal focuses on the application of geophysical methods to explore and characterize the Earth’s subsurface, with an emphasis on practical applications in industries such as mineral exploration, petroleum and gas, mining, groundwater studies, and environmental geophysics.
The journal publishes original research articles, case studies, technical notes, and reviews that cover a wide range of geophysical techniques, including seismic, electromagnetic, magnetic, gravity, and ground-penetrating radar methods. It emphasizes innovative approaches and practical applications, encouraging submissions that demonstrate relevance to real-world challenges, such as resource exploration, environmental monitoring, and geotechnical investigations. Exploration Geophysics is particularly valued for its focus on integrating geophysical data with geological and engineering contexts, often featuring case histories and tutorials that illustrate the practical utility of geophysical methods.
Exploration Geophysics operates under a rigorous peer-review process to ensure high scientific standards. Authors are encouraged to include real-world data examples to support proposed technologies or concepts, fostering reproducibility and practical relevance. The journal supports open science by promoting the use of data repositories (e.g., Dryad or figshare) for sharing datasets and code, aligning with modern standards for transparency and accessibility.
Catering to a global audience of geophysicists, researchers, and industry professionals, Exploration Geophysics is a key resource for those working in applied geoscience. Its interdisciplinary approach bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications, making it an essential platform for professionals and academics in fields like hydrocarbon exploration, mining, and environmental management. The journal is published six times a year, with its current issue (Volume 55, Issue 6, 2024) accessible online, offering full-text availability to subscribers and members of ASEG.
With a CiteScore of 1.7 and a commitment to fostering high-impact research, Exploration Geophysics continues to play a pivotal role in advancing geophysical knowledge, supporting the global geoscience community, and addressing pressing challenges in resource exploration and environmental sustainability.
