Lithosphere focuses on tectonic processes at all scales that affect the crust and upper mantle, from the surface to the base of the lithosphere, and highlights research addressing how the surface, crust, and mantle interact to shape the physical and chemical evolution of the lithosphere at all spatial and temporal scales.
Lithosphere welcomes contributions from a wide variety of earth science disciplines, including (but not limited to) structural geology, seismology, geodynamics, geophysics, tectonic geomorphology, petrology, geochemistry, and sedimentary geology as well as results from integrative, interdisciplinary projects. The journal particularly encourages articles that address how complex systems in the solid Earth operate and how coupling between those systems occurs.
