Journal of Palaeogeography [JoP] publishes in the general fields of sedimentology and palaeontology that include a distinct and noticeable palaeogeographic aspect or perspective. High-quality original research articles and authoritative reviews are welcomed.Subdisciplines of interest to JoP include (but not limited to): Facies analysis and sedimentary environments;Palaeobiology (including taxonomy) and palaeoecology;Palaeobiogeography;Stratigraphy;Sequence stratigraphy;Sedimentary geochemistry;Provenance analysis;Palaeoclimatology;Basin analysis;Past and present processes, including human civilization;Prediction & exploration related to oil, gas, coal & other mineral resources;Palaeoseismology.Journal of Palaeogeography, published continuously since 2012, publishes in English timely, innovative and provocative research from across the spectrum of palaeogeography, sedimentology and relevant disciplines and subdisciplines. JoP has a worldwide authorship and broad scope in basic and applied aspects. Submissions need to address some aspect of palaeogeography as an integral part of the submission, and submissions using multi-disciplinary approaches are favourably welcomed for promoting palaeogeography and sedimentology internationally. JoP is the formal publication outlet of the International Society of Palaeogeography.Full-text is available for all issues.
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.
