Geofluids provides an international forum for original research into the role of fluids in mineralogical, chemical, and structural evolution of the Earth's crust. Its explicit aim is to disseminate ideas across the range of sub-disciplines in which Geofluids research is carried out. To this end authors are encouraged to stress the transdisciplinary relevance of their research, and to make their work as accessible as possible to readers from other sub-disciplines.

Geofluids emphasizes both chemical and physical aspects of subsurface fluids throughout the Earth's crust (although excluding silicate melts). Geofluids spans studies of groundwater, terrestrial or submarine geothermal fluids, basinal brines, petroleum, metamorphic waters or magmatic fluids.

TopNews and Announcements

Geofluids move to online only in 2010
We are pleased to announce that Geofluids will be converting to an online only publication from 2010. This is in response to a reduced demand for print subscriptions combined with the following benefits:

• Limited environmental impact.
• Access to enhanced features, such as colour figures, illustrations, videos, models, datasets, animations etc.
• All institutional users have unlimited access to content.
• Access to backfiles dating from 2001.
• Articles are published Early View in their finished format, ahead of full issue compilation.
  
  

  NEW! Online Article Submission
  Geofluids now operates online article submission and peer review through manuscript submission

  Free Online Access in the Developing World
  Access to this journal is available free online within institutions in the developing world through the OARE Initiative (Online Access to Research in the Environment) in conjunction with UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme.

'The appearance of Geofluids is symbolic of the quiet yet dramatic revolution in geology over the past few decades. It represents the coming of age of the study of geological fluids.'
