Facies

Journal Title：Facies

The journal is open to papers dealing with the interpretation of ancient and modern biotopes and carbonate depositional environments by means of facies analysis in its broadest sense. Once the central part of research in hydrocarbon exploration, facies analysis more and more integrates modern and ancient biogeological processes of a changing earth. Special emphasis is laid on paleobiology and -ecology, basin evolution, sedimentology including diagenesis and geochemistry, as well as studies emphasising the impact of life on earth history. The main part of the target group will be people in academia.

本期刊欢迎通过广义的相分析解释古代和现代生物群落和碳酸盐沉积环境的论文。相分析曾经是碳氢化合物勘探研究的核心部分，现在越来越多地将地球变化的现代和古代生物地质过程结合起来。特别强调古生物学和生态学、盆地演化、沉积学（包括成岩作用和地球化学），以及强调生命对地球历史影响的研究。目标群体的主要部分将是学术界人士。
