This international journal of Geosciences publishes original research articles from the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Coverage extends to research in all scientific disciplines of Geosciences, including Geomorphology and Cenozoic-Quaternary Geology; Geology and Petrology; Arctic Petroleum Geology; Geochemistry; Solid Earth Geophysics and Seismology; Glaciology and Sea Ice Research, Atmospheric Science and Meteorology; Oceanography and Paleo Oceanography; Climatology and Paleo Climatology; Paleo Biology; Studies on Meteorites recovered from the Arctic. The journal promotes the exchange of scientific knowledge about the Arctic across all disciplines of Geosciences, to support Arctic research and to foster international collaboration among polar science communities.

Geotechnical characteristics of contouritic deposition often lead to preconditioning slope instabilities and failures along glaciated and formerly glaciated continental margins. However, internal depositional geometry is also an important factor in triggering instabilities. This work highlights the importance of the tectonic and oceanographic evolution of the Northwestern (NW) Svalbard margin in determining...
The sedimentary deposits of the central Sverdrup Basin on Ellef Ringnes Island were affected by both salt diapirism and igneous activity of the Cretaceous High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP). Occurrences of mafic igneous rocks on the centre of salt domes are usually assigned to the Cretaceous magmatism. Petrographic, geochemical, Sr–Nd isotope, and geochronological (Ar–Ar dating) studies on...
Bathymetric and seismic data from the Southwest Greenland margin have been used to provide an integrated shelf-to-basin overview of the margin architecture between 57° N and 64° N. A variety of glacially formed morphologic features, contour current-related erosion and sedimentary deposits, and evidence of downslope sediment transport via canyons, channels and gullies is found here. The study area...
