the Journal of Sedimentary Research

The Journal of Sedimentary Research is a scientific publication dedicated to studying sediments—materials like sand, mud, and clay that settle in water or other environments. It features research on how sediments form, change, and impact Earth's history and environments. The journal publishes analyses of rock layers, sedimentary structures, and processes that shape our planet's surface over time. Its work helps geologists understand past climate, environmental changes, and natural resources, playing a vital role in advancing knowledge of Earth’s surface processes.
