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.

《海洋地質學》是廣義上關于海洋地質過程的首屈一指的國際期刊。我們尋求全面、跨學科和綜合性的論文，這些論文將對該領域做出持久的貢獻。雖然大多數論文都是基于區域研究，但它們必須展示具有國際意義的新發現。我們接受的主題多種多樣，如海底熱液系統、海灘動力學、早期成巖作用、沉積物中的微生物學研究、古氣候研究和海底地球物理研究。我們鼓勵研究新興領域的論文，例如人類活動過程對沿海/海洋地質學和沿海/海洋地質考古學的影響。我們堅持要求論文關注海洋領域，并處理地質學：巖石、沉積物以及影響它們的物理和化學過程。論文應提出科學假設：高度描述性的數據匯編或僅涉及海洋管理和風險評估的論文應提交給其他期刊。關于實驗室或建模研究的論文必須證明與海洋過程或沉積物有直接相關性。論文被接受的主要標準是科學質量高、新穎、有意義且具有廣泛的國際興趣。

Marine Geology創刊于1964年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋地球科學綜合 - 地學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 偏慢,4-8周 約21.9周，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
