Journal Title：Continental Shelf Research

Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:

Physical sedimentology and geomorphology

Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)

Marine environment and anthropogenic effects

Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features

Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology

Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health

Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)

Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles

Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.

Continental Shelf Research 发表的文章涉及浅海环境的生物、化学、地质和物理海洋学，从沿海和河口水域到大陆架断裂带。大陆架是陆地-海洋连续体中的一个关键环境，大陆架中的许多过程、功能和问题都是由通过河流和河口运输到沿海和大陆架地区的陆地输入物驱动的。涉及这些主题的手稿必须与大陆架有明确的联系。研究领域的例子包括：

物理沉积学和地貌学

沿海海洋的地球化学（无机和有机）

海洋环境和人为影响

物理动力学与自然和人造海岸线特征的相互作用

底栖、浮游植物和浮游动物生态学

沿海水和沉积物质量，以及生态系统健康

底栖-远洋耦合（物理和生物地球化学）

物理动力学（波、电流、混合等）与生物地球化学循环之间的相互作用

河口、沿海和陆架海建模和过程研究。
