Russian Journal of Pacific Geology is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes the results of research on the Earth’s crust and mantle composition and provides articles on the geological structure and patterns of distribution of mineral deposits in the Pacific Ocean, marginal seas, and continental margins. It discusses the topics of stratigraphy, sedimentology, magmatic activity, and seismicity. The journal deals with the problems of lithosphere plate tectonics and offers the results of neotectonic, geomorphological, geodesic, environmental, and mining studies in the Pacific region. The journal accepts theoretical and methodical articles covering general issues of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geoecology, and mining. The journal also publishes critical notes, comments, and reviews. Previously focused on translation, the journal now has the aim to become an international publication and accepts manuscripts originally submitted in English from all countries, along with translated works.
