Reviews of Geophysics is a quarterlypeer-reviewedscientific journal published byWiley-Blackwell on behalf of theAmerican Geophysical Union. The currenteditor-in-chief is Fabio Florindo (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology–Rome).
Reviews of Geophysics (ISSN 0096-1043) was established in 1963. Between February 1970 and November 1984 it was namedReviews of Geophysics and Space Physics (ISSN 0034-6853). Throughout the years its frequency varied. It was quarterly in 1970–74, five per year in 1975, quarterly again in 1976–78, eight issues in 1979, quarterly in 1980–82, and finally eight issues in 1983, before being renamed toReviews of Geophysics in 1984.
As a review publication by invitation only,Reviews of Geophysics provides an overview ofgeophysics research. It integrates summations of previous scientific investigations with active research areas. Critical analysis of the progress in, and direction of, geophysics is provided. Topical coverage includes solid-earth geophysics,cryospheric science, oceans andatmospheric studies,meteorology, andoceanography), along with the physics of theSolar System and its processes. For example, coverage includes processes that tend to concern the public such asrainfall rates, trends inmarine fisheries,earthquake probabilities, andvolcanic eruption potentials.
