Editorial Scope

The Environmental Geosciences journal is a peer-reviewed publication for the AAPG's Division of Enironmental Geosciences.

It is a "must read" for environmental specialists, consultants, oil company employees, students, and all others interested in the field.

Environmental Geosciences is published quarterly and is included with the DEG membership dues.
