MARINE GEORESOURCES & GEOTECHNOLOGY

Marine Georesources & Geotechnology publishes research applied to the scientific and engineering aspects, and the management and utilization, of seafloor sediments and rocks. The journal is intended for researchers and engineers, in both academia and industry, who seek solutions to problems in marine mineral resources and civil engineering.

Areas covered range from marine minerals exploration and recovery to anchoring and mooring systems, bottom installations, and coastal engineering structures. The journal includes the study of acoustical, biological, chemical, mechanical, and physical properties affecting the geological system of the seafloor and response of this system to applied static and dynamic loads. Special emphasis is placed on the environmental aspects of seafloor exploration and development.

The journal accepts contributions on topics such as shipboard mining systems, seafloor lodes, nodules, phosphates, crusts and placers, pipelines, platforms, and processing and transportation, as well as analytic techniques related to marine mining.
