Geological Quarterly

Aims & Scope

The policy of the Geological Quarterly is to publish significant contributions of information and geological insight relevant to an international readership.

The journal has been issued since 1957 at the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute and, at present, is the leading Earth sciences journal in Poland.

All aspects of Earth and related sciences, and universal and broad regional rather than locally oriented topics are covered.

The journal is intended to be an international forum for the exchange of information and ideas, particularly on important geological topics of Central Europe.
