History
The journal was formerly entitled ''Geophysical Journal'' (Oxford) from January 1988 to June 1989. The ''Geophysical Journal'' was itself formed by the merger of three other publications: ''Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society'', ''Journal of Geophysics'', and ''Annales Geophysicae, Series B: Terrestrial and Planetary Physics''.
''Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society'' was in existence from March 1958 to December 1987 and was preceded by ''Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Geophysical Supplement''. The ''Journal of Geophysics'' was in existence from 1974 to 1987, and preceded by the German-language journal, ''Zeitschrift für Geophysik'' (1924–1973).

Finally, ''Annales Geophysicae, Series B: Terrestrial and Planetary Physics'' was in existence from 1986 to 1987, and preceded by ''Annales Geophysicae'' (Gauthier-Villars) (1983–1985). ''Annales Geophysicae'' was formed by the merger of two other journals: ''Annales de Géophysique'' (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) (1942–1982), and ''Annali di Geofisica'' (1948–1982).][
