Continental Shelf Research

Journal Title：Continental Shelf Research

Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:

Physical sedimentology and geomorphology

Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)

Marine environment and anthropogenic effects

Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features

Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology

Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health

Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)

Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles

Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.

《大陆架研究》发表的文章涉及浅海环境的生物、化学、地质和物理海洋学，从沿海和河口水域到大陆架断裂处。大陆架是陆地-海洋连续体中的关键环境，大陆架中的许多过程、功能和问题都是由通过河流和河口输送到沿海和大陆架地区的陆地输入物驱动的。涉及这些主题的稿件必须明确与大陆架有关。研究领域示例包括：

物理沉积学和地貌学

沿海海洋地球化学（无机和有机）

海洋环境和人为影响

物理动力学与自然和人造海岸线特征的相互作用

底栖、浮游植物和浮游动物生态学

沿海水和沉积物质量以及生态系统健康

底栖-远洋耦合（物理和生物地球化学）

物理动力学（波浪、洋流、混合等）与生物地球化学循环之间的相互作用

河口、沿海和陆架海建模和过程研究。

Continental Shelf Research创刊于1982年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖地学 - 海洋学全领域，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 约1.0个月 ，影响因子指数2.1，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。
