Paleoceanography is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Geophysical Union. It covers the history of the ocean and its plant and animal life.[1]
Organization
The editor-in-chief of Paleoceanography is Christopher D. Charles (University of California, San Diego).[2]
Scope
Paleoceanography accepts articles that reconstruct past conditions and processes recorded in sediments deposited in water. The main focus is on marine sediments, but also extends to sediments from freshwater environments. The past is reconstructed using sedimentology, geochemistry, paleontology, oceanography, geophysics, and modeling. Contributions are global and regional in scope and cover all ages, Precambrian to Quaternary, including modern analogs.[1]
Abstracting and indexing
Paleoceanography is abstracted and indexed by GEOBASE, GeoRef, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and several CSA indexes.[1]
Notable articles
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2012 impact factor of 3.296, ranking it first out of 50 journals in the category "Paleontology",[3] 21st among 170 journals in the category "Geosciences, Multidisciplinary",[4] and 5th out of 60 journals in the category "Oceanography".[5] As of January 2014, the three most highly cited articles are:[6]
