Throughout the years its frequency varied. It was quarterly in 197074, five per year in 1975, quarterly again in 197678, eight issues in 1979, quarterly in 198082, and finally eight issues in 1983, before being renamed to Reviews of Geophysics in 1984.

Aims and scope

As a review publication by invitation only, Reviews of Geophysics provides an overview of geophysics research. It integrates summations of previous scientific investigations with active research areas. Critical analysis of the progress in, and direction of, geophysics is provided. Topical coverage includes solid-earth geophysics, cryospheric science, oceans and atmospheric studies, meteorology, and oceanography), along with the physics of the Solar System and its processes. For example, coverage includes processes that tend to concern the public such as rainfall rates, trends in marine fisheries, earthquake probabilities, and volcanic eruption potentials.
