Description:
Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the physical oceanography, sedimentology, geology, chemistry, biology
and ecology of the
shallow marine environment, from
coastal and
estuarine water out to the
shelf break. Papers
that are published present results from both fundamental, original research as well as applied, or directed research.
Emphasis is
placed on interdisciplinary process-oriented contributions, and encouragement is given to the publication of the results of innovative
experimental studies with more general applicability.
Continental Shelf Research publishes occasional review articles. It
also includes a section on
Notes, Instrumentation and Methods. Furthermore, papers are open for written discussion for up to
three months following publication and both the discussion and the author's response are published.
Continental Shelf Researchalso
publishes special issues dedicated to results of large interdisciplinary studies or topical issues on specific subjects.
