About the Journal
Journal of Petrology publishes peer-reviewed Earth and planetary science articles that are of international interest and significantly advance our understanding of igneous and metamorphic processes, as well as their causes and consequences. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including...
- major element, trace element, and isotope geochemistry or cosmochemistry applied to petrogenesis and conditions of formation
- geochronology aimed at understanding process rates in petrology
- experimental petrology addressing the genesis of Earth and Planetary materials
- processes of magma generation, differentiation, and emplacement
- processes of metamorphism across all scales
- solutions to fundamental petrological problems through regional studies of igneous and metamorphic rocks
- petrology, origin, and evolution of rocky planetary bodies
- theoretical modelling of petrogenetic processes
- quantitative studies of rock-forming minerals and their paragenesis
