Episodes is the official quarterly journal of
the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS www.iugs.org
). It covers developments of regional and global importance in
the earth sciences and is distributed worldwide in four issues
(March, June, September and December) each about 80 pages long.
The journal is likely the most widely distributed earth science
journal since copies go to more than 150 countries worldwide.
Articles cover a wide range of earth sciences and authors are
from all over the world. The content is of interest to a broad
audience of professional earth scientists having diverse cultural
and linguistic backgrounds. Whether you live in the developing
or developed world, you will find lots of content of interest.
Published articles include current reviews, new results from
research projects of more than local significance, and discussion
of the infrastructure of science, including techniques, research
programs, organizations, science policy, or technical assistance.
The journal offers earth scientists:
authoritative articles that reflect worldwide research advances
and evolving trends in geoscience disciplines;
a forum for information exchange within the global earth-science
community;
book reviews by experts in your field;
news about activities sponsored by IUGS and its affiliates;
a comprehensive calendar of future international geoscience events
