Stratigraphy

The international peer-reviewed journal Stratigraphy publishes research that applies to the history of the earth’s biosphere and physical environments, based on the evidence from the stratigraphic record. - publisher’s blurb.

Journal of Marine Research

The Journal of Marine Research publishes peer-reviewed research articles covering a broad array of topics in physical, biological and chemical oceanography. Articles that deal with processes, as well as those that report significant observations, are welcome. In the area of biology, studies involving coupling between ecological and physical processes are preferred over those that report systematics. - publisher’s blurb.

Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change

Explores major topics related to global warming and climate change-ranging geographically from the North Pole to the South Pole, and thematically from social effects to scientific causes. Covers the science and history of climate change, the controversies over climate-change theories, the role of societies, the industrial and economic factors, and the sociological aspects of climate change. - Publisher’s blurb.

Energy & Environmental Science

Energy and Environmental Science is a new journal linking all aspects of the chemical sciences relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science.

The journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy and environmental science and therefore particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature across both the (bio) chemical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines.

Geography

Geography meets the interests of lecturers, teachers and students in post-16 geography. It includes:

Alloy Physics : A Comprehensive Reference

Covering the latest research in alloy physics together with the underlying basic principles, this comprehensive book provides a sound understanding of the structural changes in metals and alloys — ranging from plastic deformation, deformation dynamics and ordering kinetics right up to atom jump processes, first principle calculations and simulation techniques.

Science in Society

At Science in Society, we believe that science is fundamental, even “elemental” to our lives. Science affects us in many ways, from medical advances that touch our lives personally, to state and federal policy decisions concerning the environment or research regulations that impact our society at large.

Our goal is to make the community aware of the exciting research efforts at Northwestern University and across the world. We explore not only the science, but the legal, ethical, and even economic implications of research as well. We also offer a single access point to find science outreach events at Northwestern designed for the public, and we maintain a media library of past events, so you can enjoy lectures from the experts on your own computer, on your own time.

Koedoe

Koedoe is the research journal for the South African National Parks.  Its first objective is the publication of original papers concerned with the science and management of protected areas, across Africa. It is also concerned with the complex social-ecological interactions which envelop, and are a cornerstone issue of protected areas in the African context, especially as humans and conservation areas interact in many ways.

Elements

An international magazine of minerology, geochemistry, and petrology.
