為歐洲地球科學家和工程師協會地球物理分部出版。地球物理勘探出版了地球物理科學應用于勘探的最佳初級研究成果。該雜志在很大程度上借鑒了石油和礦產勘探行業研究人員的貢獻，具有很強的實用性。盡管該雜志為這些領域的工作者提供了一個有價值的交流論壇，但它也非常適合學術地球物理學的研究人員。

Published for the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers -Geophysical Division. Geophysical Prospecting publishes the best in primary research on the science of geophysics as it applies to exploration. Drawing heavily on contributions from researchers in the oil and mineral exploration industries, the Journal has a very practical slant. Although the Journal provides a valuable forum for communication among workers in these fields, it is also ideally suited to researchers in academic geophysics.
