Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Economic and Environmental Geology' focuses on the intersection of geology, environmental science, and economic applications. It aims to advance knowledge in various geological processes and their implications for environmental management and resource utilization.
  1. Geochemical and Mineralogical Studies:
    Research in this area covers the chemical composition and behavior of minerals and elements in both natural and anthropogenic environments, exploring their implications for environmental health and resource management.
  2. Environmental Impact Assessments:
    This scope includes studies that evaluate the effects of geological activities and resource extraction on the environment, focusing on pollution, land degradation, and ecosystem health.
  3. Resource Management and Utilization:
    Research on the sustainable management and utilization of geological resources, including aggregates, minerals, and water resources, is a key focus, promoting strategies for efficient and responsible usage.
  4. Geological Hazards and Risk Assessment:
    Investigations into geological hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, and other natural disasters, are crucial for understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies.
  5. Technological Applications in Geoscience:
    The journal encourages studies that apply advanced technologies, including machine learning and geospatial analysis, to improve understanding and management of geological and environmental data.
The journal has identified several emerging themes that reflect current trends in both geological research and environmental management. These themes signify shifting priorities and the increasing integration of technology and interdisciplinary approaches.
  1. Impact of Climate Change on Geological Resources:
    Recent studies are increasingly focusing on how climate change affects geological resources and processes, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies in resource management.
  2. Pollution and Contaminant Studies:
    There is a growing emphasis on understanding the behavior and impact of pollutants, particularly heavy metals and radionuclides, in various environments, which is crucial for environmental remediation efforts.
  3. Sustainable Practices in Resource Management:
    Research aimed at developing sustainable practices for the extraction and use of geological resources is trending, reflecting a broader societal shift towards sustainability.
  4. Technological Innovations in Geosciences:
    The application of advanced technologies, such as machine learning and geospatial analysis, is becoming more prevalent, enhancing the ability to analyze complex geological and environmental data.
  5. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Environmental Challenges:
    Emerging themes show a trend towards integrating geoscience with environmental policy, economics, and social sciences, addressing complex global challenges collaboratively.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has maintained a strong focus on various aspects of geology and environmental science, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence. This may reflect shifts in research priorities or emerging interests in new areas.
  1. Traditional Resource Extraction Studies:
    Research centered around conventional extraction methods of geological resources, such as coal and metals, is observed to be waning as the focus shifts towards more sustainable and innovative practices.
  2. Historical Geological Studies:
    Papers that primarily focus on historical geological formations and their characteristics are becoming less frequent, possibly due to a growing emphasis on contemporary issues and applications.
  3. Basic Geological Mapping and Descriptions:
    While foundational geological mapping is essential, studies that offer only basic geological descriptions without addressing contemporary challenges or applications are seeing reduced publication frequency.
