Geophysical Journal International is one of the world's leading primary research journals in geophysics. The Board of Editors is international in representation.  The Journal aims to promote the understanding of the earth's internal structure, physical properties, evolution and processes. Subjects covered include:

• the whole range of earthquake and controlled source seismology; tides, the Earth's gravitational field in relation to its shape, deep interior, crustal structure, stress and isostasy;
• palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism and their application to geomagnetism, internal processes and geotectonics;
• heat flow, electromagnetism, rheology and volcanology;
• and geophysics applied to the structure and evolution of rifts, ridges, trenches, mountains, continents and oceans.
