Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on marine sediments, including their physical characteristics, geochemical properties, and the influence of geological processes like sea-level change, contour currents, and methane seepage on their formation and composition. Studies also examine the use of microfossils and sediment structures as indicators of past environmental conditions.
