Mineralogy, Hydrogeology, Regional geology, Ground-penetrating radar and Economic geology are the subjects of interest in the journal. While the journal focused on Mineralogy, it was also able to explore topics like Spectral induced polarisation, Electrical resistivity and conductivity, Induced polarization, Inversion (meteorology) and Amplitude. The overlapping concepts between Soil science and Water content are the key highlights of Hydrogeology study.
It holds forums on Regional geology that merges themes from other disciplines such as Engineering geology and Environmental geology. The studies in Engineering geology featured incorporate elements of Geotechnical engineering and Geophysics. In the journal, Excavation, Remote sensing and Antenna (radio) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Ground-penetrating radar research.
The studies on Economic geology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Petrology, Gemology, Palaeogeography, Igneous petrology and Borehole. The concepts on Seismology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Reflection (physics) and Surface wave. Specifically, studies on Bedrock are prevalent in the Geomorphology works discussed.
The journal articles mainly deal with areas of study such as Mineralogy, Regional geology, Engineering geology, Economic geology and Hydrogeology. Time domain, Spectral induced polarisation, Ground-penetrating radar and Electrical resistivity and conductivity are some topics wherein Mineralogy research discussed in the published articles has an impact. The most cited articles explore issues in Engineering geology which can be linked to other research areas like Surface wave and Geophysics.
Electrical resistivity tomography, Borehole, Inversion (meteorology), Electrical resistivity and conductivity and Geophysics are among the topics commonly tackled in Near Surface Geophysics. Electrical resistivity tomography research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Landslide, Bedrock, Geomorphology, Soil science and Smoothness. The work on Inversion (meteorology) tackled in Near Surface Geophysics brings together disciplines like Time domain, Global optimization, Particle swarm optimization, Residual and Joint (geology).
The presented Electrical resistivity and conductivity research focuses mostly on Seismology and, on occasion, topics in Rock mass classification, Extraction (military) and Municipal or urban engineering. In Near Surface Geophysics, Line shift and Data processing are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Geophysics research. It explores topics in Geophysical survey (archaeology) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Hydrogeology, Inference, Field (geography) and Interpolation.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Near Surface Geophysics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Near Surface Geophysics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 2.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.20% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.07% of all publications and 60.98% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For those interested in advancing their Earth Science education, exploring online military colleges can be a great option. These institutions offer flexible programs designed to accommodate the demanding schedules of military personnel while providing quality education in relevant scientific fields.
In addition to traditional degrees, obtaining certifications that pay well can enhance your qualifications and open up new career opportunities in environmental consulting, GIS technology, and resource management.
For professionals aiming to deepen their expertise quickly, some universities offer the shortest masters degree programs in Earth Science and related disciplines. These accelerated formats provide a fast track to advanced knowledge without sacrificing educational quality.
As job markets evolve, pursuing one of the most valuable masters degrees can significantly improve long-term career prospects. Degrees in environmental science, geoscience, and sustainable development are particularly in demand, reflecting the growing global emphasis on Earth stewardship.
