How to access articles
GSA BulletinDescription: The GSA Bulletin is the Society's premier scholarly journal, published continuously since 1890. Fully refereed, each bimonthly issue contains about 20 papers reporting major research in the traditional, documented, research-paper style. Topics cover the entire range of the earth sciences. GSA Bulletin is profusely illustrated with occasional color and large inserts. A "Discussion and Reply" section facilitates dialog among authors and readers. Archives are also available online from 1945 to present. Frequency & Formats:
GeologyDescription: Geology, published since 1973, features rapid publication of about 22 refereed short (four-page) papers each month. Articles cover all earth-science disciplines and include new investigations and provocative topics. Professional geologists and university-level students in the earth sciences use this widely read journal to keep up with scientific research trends. The online forum section facilitates author-reader dialog. Includes color and occasional large-format illustrations on oversized loose inserts. Archives are also available online from 1973 to present. Frequency & Formats:
GeosphereDescription: This e-journal covers all geoscience disciplines in a medium that accommodates animations, sound, and movie files. Frequency & Access:
LithosphereDescription: Lithosphere, a new journal scheduled to launch in early 2009, will focus on tectonic processes at all scales that affect the crust and upper mantle, from the surface to the base of the lithosphere. It will highlight research that addresses how the surface, crust, and mantle interact to shape the physical and chemical evolution of the lithosphere at all spatial and temporal scales. Frequency & Formats:
GSA TodayDescription: GSA Today is the Society’s science and news magazine published for members and other earth scientists. GSA Today lead science articles are refereed and should present the results of exciting new research or summarize and synthesize important problems or issues, and they must be understandable to all in the earth science community. Issues often feature a "hot-topic" "Groundwork” article - tightly focused papers on issues of import to earth science policy, planning, funding, and education (also refereed). Periodic articles include reports from the GSA-USGS Congressional Science Fellow, Rock Stars biographical features, and news and information about the Society, its activities, and the geological community at large. Frequency & Formats :
Environmental & Engineering Geoscience (E&EG)Description: This respected quarterly journal has been published continuously for more than 30 years as the Bulletin of the Association of Engineering Geologists and is co-edited and published jointly with GSA. E&EG contains new theory, applications, and case histories illustrating the dynamics of the fast-growing environmental and applied disciplines. Please note: AEG members receive this journal as part of their AEG membership and should not purchase it from GSA. Frequency & Formats:
Abstracts with ProgramsDescription: Contains abstracts of all papers presented at each GSA annual and section meeting. Frequency & Formats:
Please note: Annual Meeting attendees will receive a complimentary CD.
