The series on Classic Papers is published in the IUGS Journal Episodes and provides historical depths to modern geoscientific research.
At the invitation of the IUGS INHIGEO established this series in 2000 for historical commentaries of extracts from major pivotal or “turning-point” publications that are considered of fundamental theoretical importance to the geological sciences and/or to ground-breaking investigation of the geology of specific geographical areas. The series has been well received and seventeen papers have been published to date covering a broad range of disciplines and geographical areas. If you are interested in submitting contributions for this series, please contact the INHIGEO Publications and Outreach Coordinator.
