Researchers in the field of Geology seek to understand what is happening beneath our feet by studying the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it. The Geology Research Network on SSRN is an open access preprint server that provides a venue for authors to showcase their research papers in our digital library, speeding up the dissemination and providing the scholarly community access to groundbreaking working papers and early-stage research. SSRN provides the opportunity to share different outputs of research such as preprints, preliminary or exploratory investigations, book chapters, PhD dissertations, course and teaching materials, presentations, and posters among others.
SSRN also helps geology scholars discover the latest research in their own and other intersecting fields of interest, such as engineering, chemistry, and biology, while providing a platform for the early sharing of their own work, making it available for subsequent work to be built upon more quickly.
