Aims and Scope

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.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The old-established journal of marine geology, with guaranteed article quality and rigorous peer review process. The reviewers are top experts in the industry, and their feedback greatly contributes to improving the quality of the articles. The review process is generally slow, taking around 10 months from submission to acceptance.

It can be considered as a well-established journal in marine geology. However, the speed is extremely slow, which is characteristic of old journals. Moreover, its influence is declining, and it has been downgraded to the third tier. I regret submitting my work to it...
