Aims & Scope
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science is an international multidisciplinary journal devoted to the
analysis of saline water phenomena ranging from the outer edge of the continental shelf to the upper limits of the tidal zone. The journal
provides a unique forum, unifying the multidisciplinary approaches to the study of the oceanography of estuaries, coastal zones, and
continental shelf seas. It features original research papers, review papers and short communications treating such disciplines as zoology,
botany, geology, sedimentology, physical oceanography.
Data reports of mainly local interest are discouraged.
Research
areas include:
• Numerical modelling of estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems
• Species distribution
in relation to varying environments
• Effects of waste disposal
• Groundwater runoff and Chemical processes
• Estuarine and fjord circulation patterns
• Meteorological and oceanic forcing of semi-enclosed and continental
shelf water masses
• Sea-surface and sea-bed processes
• Estuarine and coastal sedimentary processes
and geochemistry
• Brackish water and lagoon phenomena
• Transitional waters
