《計算機與地球科學》是一本致力于地球科學計算各個方面的期刊。《計算機與地球科學》為讀者提供了數據庫、數據結構、計算機圖形學、數值方法、仿真模型、統計和專家系統方法、圖像分析、空間分析以及與計算機打交道的地球科學家感興趣的其他主題的信息。地學一詞是廣義的，包括地質學、地球物理學、地球化學、地貌學、海洋學、環境科學、水文學、地理學、遙感和地理信息系統。最好是描述計算機方法的論文，特別是那些涉及算法和計算機程序的論文，并附有應用實例。除了全文的研究貢獻，該雜志還出版短篇筆記、書籍和軟件評論，以及給編輯的信件。

Computers & Geosciences is a journal devoted to all aspects of computing in the geosciences.Computers & Geosciences brings to its readers information about databases, data structures, computer graphics, numerical methods, simulation models, statistical and expert system methods, image analysis, spatial analysis and other topics of interest to geoscientists working with computers. The term Geoscience is used in its broadest sense, encompassing geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomathematics, oceanography, environmental science, hydrology, geography, remote sensing and geographic information systems. Papers describing computer methods are preferred, particularly those dealing with algorithms and computer programs, accompanied by examples of their application.In addition to full-length research contributions, the journal also publishes Short Notes, Book and Software Reviews, and Letters to the Editor.
