Aims & Scope

Oceanologia, the official journal of the Committee of Marine Research and the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, is an international journal that publishes results of original research in the field of marine sciences with emphasis on the European seas.

Manuscripts contributing, but not limited, to the understanding of properties and processes in the marine environment in the aspect of basic sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, ecology and geochemistry will be considered for publication.

Special attention will be given to papers devoted to phenomena occurring in the marine environment in the zones characterized by: • gradients of properties (salinity, red-ox, temperature, light field, others), • phases boundaries both abiotic and biotic/abiotic (aqueous/solid, aqueous/gaseous, biotic/solid and biotic/aqueous), • marine-land boundary.
