Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Marine Research publishes studies on ocean circulation, estuarine dynamics, and sediment biogeochemistry. Research includes the physical and chemical processes within estuaries, such as salt flux and tidal mixing, and the impact of benthic organisms on sediment properties and nutrient cycling. The journal also investigates oceanographic phenomena like water mass ventilation using transient tracers and momentum fluxes over continental shelves.
