About the Association
The International Association for Gondwana Research (IAGR) is an elite society of academicians, scientists, and researchers over the world who are interested in or engaged in the research and education on the history of Earth, its environment and resources, as well as planetary equivalents. IAGR is a non-profit organization (NPO) that promotes, co-ordinates and advances global research on supercontinents, with particular emphasis on Gondwana. IAGR aims at the integration and dissemination of knowledge on Earth history and geological processes for sustaining the human society. IAGR is a member of the Union of International Associations (UIA).
IAGR is governed by an elected Council (Executive Council) comprising President, Secretary General, Vice Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurer, and supported by Advisory Council and Steering Committee.

Gondwana Research
Gondwana Research (GR) is the Official Journal of the International Association for Gondwana Research (IAGR) that aims to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their environment and resources. GR is an “all earth science” journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences. The journal provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains as well as in addressing important themes under Sustainable Development Goals in a geoscience perspective. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, ‘GR FOCUS’. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category ‘GR LETTERS’.
