Section Collection Information

Marine geology is the branch of geology that studies the geology of the ocean floor. Although approximately 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, the geology of the seafloor has remained largely unexplored, except for coastal shoals. This is partly due to technical difficulties in examining the geology of the seafloor, and partly because the geological structure of the seafloor is thought to be fairly uniform. Recently, however, seabed survey techniques have improved significantly, and survey results have shown that the geological structure and crustal structure of the seabed are not necessarily simple. is developing. Marine geology is a comprehensive science with geology as its core, involving geophysics, earth science, biology, astronomy and other fields. The term "seabed geology" is sometimes used synonymously with marine geology. Geoarchaeology is a science that applies multidisciplinary techniques and theories such as geography, geology, geophysics and other earth sciences to verify the obtained archaeological results and opinions. The work of geoarchaeologists often involves the study of soils, sediments, and other geographic concepts, using a combination of technologies such as humanities and social sciences, earth sciences, computer mapping, geographic information systems, and digital terrain models. Geoarchaeology is important to society as it allows archaeologists to understand the topography of soil, sediment and rock on buried sites and artifacts. Through geological and archaeological methods, scientists can locate ancient cities and cultural relics, and estimate the formation age based on soil properties. Geoarchaeology is considered a subfield of environmental archaeology because human activities may have altered soils, but archaeologists study and reconstruct past landscapes and environments.

 

With this in context, we are calling for original papers that address the following topics (not limiting):

·         underwater cultural heritage

·         Protection of underwater cultural heritage

·         Geomorphic conditions such as soil, sediment and rock

·         Applied Technology in Geoarchaeology

 Original research articles and reviews on these topics of interest are invited for submission.

Looking forward to receiving your articles.
