Editorial Scope
The Environmental Geosciences journal is a peer-reviewed publication for the AAPG’s Division of Enironmental Geosciences.

It is a "must read" for environmental specialists, consultants, oil company employees, students, and all others interested in the field.
Environmental Geosciences is published quarterly and is included with the DEG membership dues.

15% of gross billing is allowed to recognized agencies on space, color, bleed and position. Commission not allowed on production and mechanical charges. No cash discounts allowed.

Rebates and Short Orders: Within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion, advertisers will be rebated if they have placed sufficient additional insertions to warrant a lower rate than the amount they have been billed. Advertisers will be short-rated if they do not use the amount of space on which their billings are based within a 12-month period from the date of the first insertion.
Liability: Advertisers and advertising agencies assume liability for all content of advertising printed, and are responsible for all claims made against the publisher arising from printed advertising.
Publisher’s Rights: The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement at the publisher’s discretion.
Preferred Positions: All preferred positions are non-cancelable during the duration of the contract.
