CONCEPT DESIGN

This logo composes of Abbreviations of Thai Geoscience Journal

T = THAI G = GEOSCIENCE J = JOURNAL

Coexistence of 3 abbreviations design in a concept of modernity blend with a Thainess.
Modification of G alphabet in a shape of ammonoid shows relevance to geology
and infinite development of Thai Geoscience Journal.

● SCOPE AND AIM OF THAI GEOSCIENCE JOURNAL (TGJ): TGJ is an international
(Thai and English) journal publishing original research articles dealing with the geological sciences.
It focuses, mainly but not exclusively, on: Sedimentology and Geomorphology, Palaeontology, Quaternary
Geology and Environmental Change, Geological Hazards, Environmental Geosciences, Geophysics,
Mineral and Petroleum Geology, Tectonics and Structural Geology, Geochemistry and Geochronology,
Metamorphic Geology and Volcanic and Igneous Geology. Two types of articles are published in the
Journal: ResearchArticles and Reviews. ResearchArticles are new original articles, normally not exceeding
25 pages. Review Articles are those papers that summarize the current state of knowledge on specific
fields or topics of geosciences. They analyze and discuss previously published research results, rather than
report new results. TGJ Aim is to provide valuable geoscience knowledge and information and push more
inspiration for readers and researchers to produce treasure research in the future.

● FEEDBACK AND CONTACT: We welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions for the

development of TGJ.
