新西蘭是世界上展示許多現(xiàn)代地質(zhì)過(guò)程的最好的國(guó)家之一，這些過(guò)程可以研究用于其他地方。作為一個(gè)環(huán)太平洋國(guó)家，有著悠久的地球科學(xué)研究歷史，其在環(huán)太平洋地球科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的活動(dòng)日益活躍，備受尊重。《新西蘭地質(zhì)與地球物理學(xué)雜志》是一份關(guān)于環(huán)太平洋地球科學(xué)的國(guó)際期刊，45年來(lái)一直是這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)的一部分。該雜志發(fā)表關(guān)于地球科學(xué)所有方面的原始研究論文，涉及新西蘭、太平洋和南極洲。它的作用是使那些在環(huán)太平洋地區(qū)內(nèi)外都有興趣的地學(xué)家能夠進(jìn)行這種研究并將其應(yīng)用于各地。

New Zealand is one of the best countries in the world for displaying a number of modern geologic processes that can be studied for application in other places. As a Pacific Rim country, with a long history of geoscience investigation, it is well respected for its growing activities in circumpacific earth science. New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics - an international journal of Pacific Rim Geosciences - has been a part of that activity for over 45 years. The journal publishes original research papers on all aspects of the earth sciences relevant to New Zealand, the Pacific, and Antarctica. Its role is to make that research accessible and applicable to geoscientists everywhere whose interests lie within and beyond the circumpacific area.
