EDITORIAL
Welcome to the first issue of journal: Georesources.
Georesources is a multi- and interdisciplinary scientific journal for the publication of original research in earth sciences in the broadest sense. This journal has been formed to provide better coverage within the journals of Physics, Geology, Chemistry, Cosmology and other series for papers in the area of natural resources, including the human race, as well as undiscovered potential resources of other planets. Earth's resources are not only energy and mineral, but also intellectual resources.
Georesources publishes papers on the study of the physical processes occuring within the Earth, and in the space surrounding it, including its interaction with other bodies in the Galaxy. It covers all disciplines of the physics of the universe, with special emphasis on the resources problems involved.
Georesources serves not only the community of scientific geophysicists, but all scientists who wish to publish new findings on the interactions between physical and other geological, chemical and biological processes within the Earth System. Papers on experiment and instrumentation, theory or modelling in the following areas will be particularly welcome:
Georesources and
- Physics, Dynamics and Chemistry of the Earth; Origin and Evolution of the Earth, Solar System and Galaxy;
- Structure and Behavior of the Atmosphere, Llithosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere;
- Geosphere Interactions;
- Planets and Space Physics;
- Environment and Natural Hazards;
- Applied Mathematics.
For 2000 Georesources will be available in 3 different sections:
A. Fundamental Science.
B. Applied Researches: Fossil Fuels.
C. Applied Researches: Mineral Deposits.
We are indebted to the members of the Editorial Board (who are listed on the inside cover) for the advice, suggestions and encouragement we have received.

Georesources is published jointly with the Geological State Committee for the Use of Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, the State Budgetary Fund for Recovery of Mineral Resources
(RMR) of the Republic of Tatarstan, and Kazan State University, Russia.
We hope that you will find Georesources an interesting and informative journal to read and that you will submit your own papers for publication in it. We look forward to receiving your comments about the journal and suggestions for improvement.
Following the tradition of other scientific journals, Georesources expects that fruitful interaction of scientists of different countries will be reached.
The journal will be published four times a year, and we are making efforts to minimise the time between submission and publication. Rapid publication is guaranteed.We are hoping for the cooperation of our referees and authors in achieving this aim.
A feature will be the publication of the proceedings of selected conferences in areas that the Editorial Board considers to be of special importance, (for example, of the conference: Geometrization of Physics, Kazan, Russia). Conference organisers wishing to consider this form of publication should get in touch with the Editor-in-Chief.
The journal will maintain sections for regular length articles, brief communications (letters) and commentary.
Please send articles, meeting reports/announcements or any kind of news items as well as advertisements to the Editorial Office.
