About Us

All universities and institutions active in the field of geology are represented in the board of Geologica Belgica. Its "sister" association "Société Géologique de Belgique" located in Liège is a privileged partner for the organization of scientific activities.

All submitted articles undergo comprehensive peer review, as is the norm for all international scientific journals. The journal publishes four issues per year. The use of English is strongly encouraged, however manuscripts in French, Dutch or German can be considered as the discretion of the editor. Please visit the online journal website for checking the last available open access publications and, of course, all the historical ones.
