Estuaries and Coasts

期刊简介：Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.

【译文】《河口与海岸》是海岸与河口研究联合会（CERF）的期刊。该期刊始于1977年，原名《切萨皮克科学》，逐渐扩大了其范围和发行量。如今，该期刊发表关于河口和近海生态系统的研究论文，这些生态系统位于陆地与海洋之间，存在潮汐波动或海水被淡水稀释的地方。界面被广泛定义为包括河口和近岸海岸水域，包括泻湖、湿地、潮汐淡水、海岸和海滩，但不包括大陆架。该期刊涵盖对物理、化学、地质或生物过程的研究，以及应用于河口和海岸管理。该期刊发表原创研究成果、评论和观点、技术、评论和管理应用。河口与海岸期刊将考虑进行得当的研究，即使呈现了不确定的发现或记录了先前发表工作的失败复制。主要描述性、强烈基于地点或仅报告模型或新方法的发展而不详细说明其应用的投稿不在期刊的范围内。
