The Journal of Geodynamics is an international and interdisciplinary forum for the publication of results and discussions of Solid Earth research covering the entire multitude of scientific methods aimed at understanding deep and shallow processes in various tectonic settings and acting at different time- and length-scales. The Journal publishes results based on a multitude of research disciplines, including geophysics, geodesy, geochemistry, geology, and based on field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations.

The Journal invites original research papers, including 'letters', as well as topical reviews with focus on geodynamics, including:
Plate tectonic processes: driving mechanisms, paleo-geodynamics, numerical and analogue modeling in compressional and extensional tectonic settings in continents and oceans, including all stages of the Wilson cycle, and basin dynamics;
Mantle geodynamics: mantle convection, hot spots and plumes, mantle transition zone, and secular evolution of the Earth;
Geophysical geodynamics: crust - mantle and lithosphere - asthenosphere interaction based on seismic, gravity, magnetic, and thermal observation and interpretation with links to global and regional geodynamic processes in different tectonic settings;
Stress field and deformation: geodetic observations of horizontal and vertical crustal movements; seismic, electrical and magnetic anisotropy; seismicity, tsunami hazards and impacts;
Crustal and mantle rheology: laboratory experiments and numerical simulations; physical properties of rocks; water in the mantle;
Geodynamics of magma transport: geophysical observations and numerical simulations of magma transport and emplacement; modelling of volcanic eruptions, geodynamic control on evolution of magmatic passive margins, large igneous provinces and dyke swarms;
Geodynamics of topographic change: role of deep processes on large-scale regional evolution of topography, including dynamic topography, and sea level variation;
Geodynamics of large ice sheets: ice basal melting, glacial isostasy, ice-seismicity;
Geodynamic control on ore and hydrocarbon mineral deposits.
