Journal of the International Association of GeoChemistryEstablis... in 1986, Applied Geochemistry is an impactful international journal aims to offer a dynamic venue for the global geochemical community to present and share original research, critical reviews, perspective and viewpoints, which have some practical applications or implications to human endeavour and wellbeing. The journal strives to publish rigorous and robust papers for a multidisciplinary and diverse audience of scientists, practitioners, policy makers in the broad environmental geoscience community. Applied Geochemistry facilitated the diffusion of numerous scientifically-novel... policy-changing and thought-leading knowledges in the field. Applied Geochemistry is the official journal of the International Association of GeoChemistry (IAGC). Applied Geochemistry embrace the global community of geochemical researchers who play the roles as our authors, reviewers, editors and readers.

Papers on applications of inorganic, organic and isotope geochemistry and geochemical processes are therefore welcome provided they meet the main criterion. Spatial and temporal monitoring case studies are only of interest to our international readership if they present new ideas of broad application.

Continental Shelf Research

ISSN: 0278-4343

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 geomorphologyGeochem... of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)Marine environment and anthropogenic effectsInteraction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline featuresBenthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecologyCoastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem healthBenthic-pelagi... coupling (physical and biogeochemical)Inter... between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cyclesEstuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studiesEmphasis is placed on interdisciplinary process-oriented contributions, and encouragement is given to the publication of the results of innovative experimental studies with the potential for upscaling and a broad contribution. Regional descriptions and data summaries are discouraged.Continen... Shelf Research publishes research papers, occasional review articles and short communications and technical notes (instruments and methods).Continental Shelf Research also publishes Special Issues dedicated to results of large interdisciplinary studies or topical issues on specific subjects. Contact one of our Editors for more information on Special Issue proposals.Note to Authors: When considering submission of a manuscript to CSR, bear in mind that recent analyses show that published papers are downloaded by scientists from over 90 countries world-wide. This level of usage emphasizes the need for authors to present their research results in a broad context, to be of interest to this international community. Likewise, when suggesting the four reviewers for a manuscript, an international perspective of individual scientists (not necessarily affiliated with CSR) should be considered.

Geoderma Regional

ISSN: 2352-0094

Global issues require studies and solutions at national and regional levels. Geoderma Regional aims to publish research that contributes to advancing our knowledge on soils in all regions of the world. Soils formed in different pedo-climatic zones present unique aspects and complexities. Large regional variations in soil characteristics, usage, and challenges to soil health underpin the importance of addressing local soil concerns and implementing region-specific strategies for sustainable soil management.The journal embraces regional perspectives in soil science, promotes interdisciplinary work, and encourages the adoption of appropriate soil classifications. This reflects our commitment to fostering a comprehensive understanding of soils worldwide and enabling the development of sustainable solutions tailored to regional needs. In order for the journal to ensure the applicability and generalizability of published regional research, Geoderma Regional requires all submissions to include descriptions of the investigated soils following either the latest editions of either IUSS World Reference Base for Soil Resources or USDA Soil Taxonomy. Additionally, but not exclusively, authors can include an equivalent or equate to a local classification where available in order to also cater for the regional readers.Geoderma Regional encourages (but is not limited to) studies that provide scientific progress on:Land use and/or climate change and its impacts on soil and ecosystem properties, processes, and functions,Anthropoge... alterations of soil biogeochemical cycles,otic and abiotic interactions in the soil system (plant-soil-pedo-fau... community-atmosphere... of soil properties, processes and patterns in all regions and their implications for our general understanding of soil systems and their sustainable use,Implementation of experimentally assessed knowledge of soil processes into modelling frameworks.The following topics are discouraged unless they provide new and relevant information complementing our core subject areas:Inventories, survey analyses, and case studies with no implications for improving our knowledge of soils in general or regionally, or devoid of scientific novelty,Impact assessment and environmental/compli... monitoring investigations,Studi... that are exclusively greenhouse- or laboratory-based,Stu... on methods development or pure model/method comparisons,Studies focusing mainly on agronomy, plant production, socio-economy, or politics without clarifying the relevance and links to soil properties or soil process understanding.

Marine Geology

ISSN: 0025-3227

Marine Geology is the journal on marine geological processes in the broadest sense. It seeks papers that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and synthetic that will be lasting contributions to the field. Papers must demonstrate new findings and their context and significance discussed in terms of the international literature.Marine Geology accepts 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. Papers that address emerging new fields, for example the influence of anthropogenic processes on coastal and marine geology are particularly welcomed.The papers should be concerned with the coastal and marine realm in the broad sense and should deal with rocks, sediments, landforms (sedimentology, geomorphology, geoarchaeology, geochemistry), the physical and chemical and biological processes affecting them, and the characteristics and evolution of the processes/mechanisms as revealed by sedimentary archives.Papers should address scientific hypotheses: data compilations, including 'big data' and datasets of global significance, and papers that deal with marine management and risk assessment, sustainability issues, and hydrocarbon reservoir characterisation may be submitted to the journal on the condition that they demonstrate a close and clear relationship between these issues and coastal/marine geological processes and deposits. Papers on laboratory or modelling studies must demonstrate direct relevance to marine processes or deposits. Papers dealing with coastal deposits now on land may be accepted on condition that these deposits show continuity with, and their interpretation is relevant to, coastal and marine processes. Papers dealing with continental deposits that do not correspond to these criteria and must be submitted to other journals. The primary criteria for acceptance of papers include that the science is of high quality, novel, significant, and of broad international interest.
