Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes. Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following: - the extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems - the biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems - the biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances - models that describe and predict the above processes - monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes - methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences

海洋環(huán)境研究發(fā)表了關(guān)于海洋和沿海水域化學(xué)、物理和生物相互作用的原始研究論文。該雜志是一個論壇，提供有關(guān)生物學(xué)、化學(xué)、毒理學(xué)和合成的新信息，促進對海洋環(huán)境過程的理解。鼓勵提交多學(xué)科研究。利用實驗方法闡明海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)變化的人為和自然原因的作用的研究尤其受歡迎，這些研究代表了海洋科學(xué)理論或概念方面的新發(fā)展。所有發(fā)表在本雜志上的論文在接受和發(fā)表之前都要經(jīng)過合格的同行的審查。被認(rèn)為適合本雜志的主題包括但不限于以下內(nèi)容：變化的程度、持續(xù)性和后果，以及從自然海洋系統(tǒng)的這種變化中恢復(fù)的程度、持續(xù)性和后果-污染物對海洋生物和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的生物化學(xué)、生理學(xué)和生態(tài)后果-生物氣體自然發(fā)生物質(zhì)和人為物質(zhì)的地球化學(xué)-描述和預(yù)測上述過程的模型-監(jiān)測研究，其結(jié)果提供功能過程的新信息-描述改進的海洋科學(xué)定量技術(shù)的方法論論文
