About Stratigraphy and Sedimentology

Aims

Stratigraphy and Sedimentology (ISSN: 3042-884X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to advancing understanding of sedimentary processes, depositional environments, and stratigraphic systems across geologic time. The journal serves as a platform for innovative research that bridges traditional sedimentology and stratigraphy of modern and ancient systems with emerging techniques and multidisciplinary approaches in basin analysis, geochemistry, geochronology, biogeosciences, paleoclimatology, tectonics, and geomorphology. We publish original research articles, reviews, and rapid communications with no restrictions on length or methodological scope. The aim is to foster scientific dialogue, advance knowledge, and disseminate cutting-edge research in sedimentology and stratigraphy that informs both academic inquiry and practical applications in environmental reconstruction, mineral and resource exploration, geohazard assessment, and geoengineering.
