AIMS & SCOPE

Aims & Scope

The Malaysian Journal of Geosciences is an international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a platform for the dissemination of original research, reviews, and applied studies in all fields of geosciences. Its primary aim is to advance knowledge and understanding of Earth’s processes, resources, and hazards, with a particular focus on studies relevant to Malaysia, Asia, and the African subcontinent. More broadly, it emphasizes geoscientific research across the Asia–Africa region.

Scope of the Journal

  • Geology, petrology, mineralogy, and stratigraphy
  • Tectonics, structural geology, and geodynamics
  • Geophysics, geochemistry, and geohazards
  • Sedimentology, paleontology, and geomorphology
  • Hydrogeology, soil science, and environmental geosciences
  • Exploration and sustainable management of mineral, energy, and water resources
  • Engineering geology, geotechnics, and applications in infrastructure development
  • Climate change impacts, natural disaster risk assessment, and geoscience policy

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary contributions that integrate field investigations, laboratory studies, modeling, and applied research to address both fundamental and practical aspects of Earth sciences. By bringing together academic researchers, industry experts, and policymakers, The Malaysian Journal of Geosciences seeks to promote sustainable development, natural resource management, and resilience against geohazards within Malaysia and beyond.
