The journal focuses largely on the fields of Geophysics, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology and Seismology. The work on Geophysics tackled in it brings together disciplines like Earth's magnetic field, Magnetosphere and Solar wind. Magnetopause is part of Magnetosphere studies tackled in the journal.
The journal links adjacent topics like Solar wind with Astronomy. It addresses concerns in Astronomy which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Astrobiology and Astrophysics. Reviews of Geophysics connects the study in Astrobiology with the closely related area of Planet.
It focuses on Climatology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Climate change and Oceanography. Most of the Atmospheric sciences studies addressed also intersect with Atmosphere. Seismology studies presented in the journal focus on topics such as Lithosphere and Tectonics.
The journal papers mainly deal with areas of study such as Geophysics, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change and Seismology. The published papers emphasize research on Geophysics, which includes concerns such as Mantle (geology). The journal papers address concerns in Atmospheric sciences which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Atmosphere and Aerosol.
The primary areas of discussion in Reviews of Geophysics are Climatology, Satellite, Paleoclimatology, Geophysics and Ice sheet. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Climatology, it also covered topics in Quaternary, Hadley cell, Terrestrial ecosystem, Data assimilation and Earth system science. Issues in Satellite were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Remote sensing (archaeology), Drainage basin, Atmospheric sciences, Amazon rainforest and Carbon.
The research on Atmospheric sciences tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Balance (accounting), Water cycle, Carbon cycle and Polar. Paleoclimatology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Subtropics, Tropics, Geochemistry, Geochronology and Stalagmite. Some problems in Geophysics that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Plate tectonics, Accretion (finance), Ion, Lithospheric mantle and Magnetic reconnection.
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 Reviews of 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 Reviews of 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 21.05% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.05% of all publications and 15.79% 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.

(2022)For students passionate about environmental sciences, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Programs like environmental engineering schools online offer specialized training in designing sustainable solutions to environmental challenges. These programs often emphasize practical skills that prepare graduates for careers in water quality, pollution control, and environmental system design.
Beyond engineering, careers in health and safety are also closely tied to environmental sciences. The best online EHS programs equip students with expertise in workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and risk management—critical for industries aiming to minimize environmental hazards.
Interestingly, interdisciplinary pathways like speech pathology also offer accelerated options. Students interested can explore accelerated SLP programs that prepare professionals to address communication disorders, a vital service in public health sectors influenced by environmental factors.
For those looking into behavioral analysis combined with environmental wellbeing, BCBA masters programs provide advanced credentials to work with individuals needing behavioral support, often in community health settings affected by environmental conditions.
