Geological Survey of Finland, Bulletin

The Bulletin of the Geological Survey of Finland publishes the results of scientific research that is thematically or geographically connected to Finnish or Fennoscandian geology, or otherwise related to research and innovation at the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). Articles by researchers outside GTK are also welcome. All manuscripts are peer reviewed.

The Bulletin series has been published since 1895, first under the French name Bulletin de la Commission Géologique de Finlande and since 1971 under the name Geological Survey of Finland, Bulletin. It is a scientific series meant for international distribution, published in English.

The editorial board of the Bulletin consists of GTK’s director of Science and Innovations, the science editor and 3–5 other Associate Professor-level members, of which at least one comes from outside Finland.

Bulletin is a digital publication but can also be printed if needed. The editorial board decides on possible printing on a case-by-case basis. All Bulletin papers are peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers to ensure their scientific quality.

The Bulletin can be published as

  • Special Issue
