The scientific interests tackled in Marine Geology are Oceanography, Geomorphology, Sediment, Paleontology and Sedimentary rock. The journal connects the study in Oceanography with the closely related area of Glacial period. Topics in Geomorphology were tackled in line with various other fields like Seafloor spreading, Seabed and Bathymetry.
Marine Geology facilitates discussions on Sediment that incorporate concepts from other fields like Hydrology, Geochemistry and Mineralogy. Discussions in Marine Geology are anchored in the subject of Geochemistry and the similar topic of Carbonate. Quaternary, Sedimentary depositional environment, Pleistocene, Structural basin and Tectonics are among the concentrations of Paleontology that garnered much attention in Marine Geology.
Sedimentary rock research discussed connects with the study of Facies. While Holocene is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Radiocarbon dating and Marine transgression. The journal investigates Continental shelf research which frequently intersects with Continental margin.
The published articles investigate studies in Oceanography, Geomorphology, Sediment, Paleontology and Continental shelf. The most cited papers explore topics in Oceanography which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Glacial period and Terrigenous sediment. While work presented in the published articles provide substantial information on Geomorphology, it also covers topics in Sedimentary rock and Geochemistry.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Sediment, Paleontology, Sedimentary rock, Oceanography and Sedimentary depositional environment. In Marine Geology, Estuary, Erosion and Bathymetry are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Sediment research. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Bathymetry, it also covered topics in Seabed and Geomorphology.
The Paleontology study featured in Marine Geology draws parallels with the field of Continental shelf. Issues in Sedimentary rock were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Structural basin and Turbidity current. Marine Geology tackles studies in Delta and the interrelated subject of Progradation to gain insights into Oceanography.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Marine Geology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Marine Geology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 10.63% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.89% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.03% of all publications and 43.24% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in studying Earth Science in the USA, various online degree options provide flexible and affordable pathways. Many students seek the cheapest online colleges to minimize education costs while gaining valuable scientific knowledge and skills.
Admission requirements can be a concern for some prospective students. Fortunately, several online colleges that accept low GPA offer opportunities to those who may not have traditional academic records but are passionate about Earth Science fields.
In addition to general geology programs, specialized degrees in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are highly relevant for careers involving spatial data analysis and environmental mapping. Exploring top gis degree programs can open doors to cutting-edge technology roles in various sectors.
Similarly, students may find comprehensive training through acclaimed geology degree online programs. These courses prepare graduates for roles in research, natural resource management, and environmental consulting.
