Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on sedimentary geology, focusing on the analysis of sedimentary rocks and their depositional environments. Studies investigate paleoceanographic events, such as Oceanic Anoxic Event 2, and their impact on sediment composition and bioturbation. The journal also covers the formation and resilience of reef systems, the application of hyperspectral imaging for grain-size analysis, and the petrological and geochemical investigation of carbonate systems like travertines. Research extends to the controls of depositional processes and grain-scale properties on sandstone heterogeneity and diagenetic evolution, as well as the reconstruction of environmental and climatic changes through sedimentary successions in various paleoequatorial settings.
