Continental Shelf Research

期刊简介：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 geomorphologyGeochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)Marine environment and anthropogenic effectsInteraction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline featuresBenthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecologyCoastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem healthBenthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cyclesEstuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.

【译文】大陆架研究期刊发表关于浅海环境的生物、化学、地质和物理海洋学方面的文章，从海岸和河口水域延伸到大陆架边缘。大陆架是陆地-海洋连续体中的一个关键环境，大陆架上许多过程、功能和问题都是由通过河流和河口输送到海岸和大陆架区域的陆地输入驱动的。涉及这些主题的手稿必须明确与大陆架建立联系。研究领域的例子包括：物理沉积学和地貌学、海岸海洋地球化学（无机和有机）、海洋环境和人为影响、物理动力学与自然和人工海岸特征的相互作用、底栖、浮游植物和浮游动物生态学、海岸水和沉积物质量以及生态系统健康、底栖-浮游耦合（物理和生物地球化学）、物理动力学（波浪、电流、混合等）与生物地球化学循环之间的相互作用、河口、海岸和大陆架海建模和过程研究。
