ARC Geophysical Research

About the Journal

ARC Geophysical Research is an online-only open access journal published by the Academic Research Community (ARC) Alliance for the geosciences by the geoscience community.  ARC-GR publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts from all areas in geosciences as well as fostering scientific bridges to related fields.  The published research showcases mechanistic understanding that is general, consequential, and transferable beyond the specifics of the original study.  The journal seeks to reflect a diversity of research techniques and invites theoretical, experimental, and computational approaches, or combinations thereof that advance fundamental understanding. The journal offers flexible article length and formats to allow authors to reach a broad audience while maintaining the highest scientific rigor sought by specialists.
