Geo-Marine Letters is an international peer-reviewed journal which offers rapid publication of concise original studies and reviews dealing with processes, products and techniques in marine geology, geophysics, and geochemistry. Coverage includes: Structural geology, including plate tectonics of recent active and passive margins plus sea-bed morphology, physiography and morphodynamics. Sediment transport, depositional processes and sedimentary facies analysis also stratigraphy, basin analysis and paleo-environmental reconstruction. Sea-level history, paleoproductivity, gas hydrates, salt domes and brines; sediment-water interaction and organism-sediment relationships. Geochemical tracers, stable isotopes and authigenic mineral formation; geotechnical properties and application of new geo-marine techniques, and more.
