Marine Geology

Journal Title：Marine Geology

Marine Geology is the premier international journal on marine geological processes in the broadest sense. We seek papers that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and synthetic that will be lasting contributions to the field. Although most papers are based on regional studies, they must demonstrate new findings of international significance. We accept papers on subjects as diverse as seafloor hydrothermal systems, beach dynamics, early diagenesis, microbiological studies in sediments, palaeoclimate studies and geophysical studies of the seabed. We encourage papers that address emerging new fields, for example the influence of anthropogenic processes on coastal/marine geology and coastal/marine geoarchaeology. We insist that the papers are concerned with the marine realm and that they deal with geology: with rocks, sediments, and physical and chemical processes affecting them. Papers should address scientific hypotheses: highly descriptive data compilations or papers that deal only with marine management and risk assessment should be submitted to other journals. Papers on laboratory or modelling studies must demonstrate direct relevance to marine processes or deposits. The primary criteria for acceptance of papers is that the science is of high quality, novel, significant, and of broad international interest.

《海洋地质学》是广义上关于海洋地质过程的首屈一指的国际期刊。我们寻求全面、跨学科和综合性的论文，这些论文将对该领域做出持久的贡献。虽然大多数论文都是基于区域研究，但它们必须展示具有国际意义的新发现。我们接受的主题多种多样，如海底热液系统、海滩动力学、早期成岩作用、沉积物中的微生物学研究、古气候研究和海底地球物理研究。我们鼓励研究新兴领域的论文，例如人类活动过程对沿海/海洋地质学和沿海/海洋地质考古学的影响。我们坚持要求论文关注海洋领域，并处理地质学：岩石、沉积物以及影响它们的物理和化学过程。论文应提出科学假设：高度描述性的数据汇编或仅涉及海洋管理和风险评估的论文应提交给其他期刊。关于实验室或建模研究的论文必须证明与海洋过程或沉积物有直接相关性。论文被接受的主要标准是科学质量高、新颖、有意义且具有广泛的国际兴趣。

Marine Geology创刊于1964年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖地球科学综合 - 地学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 偏慢,4-8周 约21.9周，影响因子指数2.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
