Ofioliti成立于1976年，為蛇綠巖和現(xiàn)今海洋巖石圈及其沉積覆蓋的地球動(dòng)力學(xué)、巖石學(xué)、地球化學(xué)、地層學(xué)、構(gòu)造學(xué)和古地理領(lǐng)域的原始貢獻(xiàn)和評(píng)論提供了一個(gè)國(guó)際論壇。有關(guān)地幔地球動(dòng)力學(xué)和蛇綠巖等造山帶演化的研究也很受歡迎。

Ofioliti was established in 1976, and provides an international forum for original contributions and reviews in the field of the geodynamics, petrology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, tectonics and paleogeography of both ophiolites and the lithosphere of present oceans, with their sedimentary cover. Studies of related topics such as the geodynamics of the mantle and the evolution of orogens including ophiolites are also welcome.
