2nd CAJG WELCOMES PARTICIPANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!

 

  • CAJG is the most comprehensive and largest geosciences event in the Middle East and Africa. 
  • New Submission Deadline: 10 August 2019 (due to high demand)
  • 1st CAJG in 2018 enjoyed the participation of more than 450 geoscientists from 70 countries. Their research contributions are now published in the proceedings by Springer.
  • This 2nd CAJG of 2019 welcomes submissions of research studies focused on understanding the geologic, geophysical, environmental and climatic evolution of the Arabian Peninsula, Mediterranean, Africa and other regions of the world.

AIMS & SCOPE

The Arabian Journal of Geosciences (AJG) is a Springer journal publishing original articles on the full range of Earth sciences in partnership with the Saudi Society for Geosciences. The journal focuses on, but is not limited to, research themes which have regional significance for the Middle East, the Euro-Mediterranean, Africa,  Asia and some other regions of the world. The journal receives on average 2500 submissions a year and accepts around 700 papers for publication in its 24 annual issues (acceptance rate around 25%). It benefits from the participation of an editorial team of 100 international Associate Editors who generously help in evaluating and selecting the best papers.

Celebrating 10 years of Geosciences
In 2008, Prof. Abdullah Al-Amri, in close partnership with Springer, founded the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (AJGS). In 2018, the journal celebrated its 10th anniversary. To mark the event, the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the AJGS organized the 1st Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG) in close collaboration with Springer on 12–15 November 2018. The conference was an occasion to endorse the journal’s long-held reputation and brought together 450 authors from 70 countries, who work in the wide-ranging fields of Earth sciences. The dynamic four-day conference in a stimulating environment in Hammamet, Tunisia provided attendees with opportunities to share their latest unpublished findings and learn about the latest geosciences studies. The event also allowed attendees to meet and talk to the journal’s editors and reviewers. Three field trips were organized alongside the conference and many participants enjoyed the wonders of the geology of Tunisia.

 

Oil & Gaz
In a continuation of the successful 1st CAJG, this year’s conference aims to bring geoscientists from all over the world to present and discuss their most recent findings. The 2nd CAJG will continue to publish the newest findings in its proceedings and some special issues by Springer, with a clear mission to drive greater North-South (Europe-Africa) scientific cooperation and to open doors to new and enriching collaborations with geoscientists based in Asia and the Americas. Research studies from the wide-ranging fields of Earth sciences can be submitted for evaluation by the Conference Scientific Committee. In particular, the 2nd CAJG will devote a special session (workshop) to studies focusing on unraveling the undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Mediterranean and North Africa. Many international experts will be invited to take part in the discussion.
