Trending and Emerging
- Integrated Coastal Geoarchaeology:
There is a noticeable increase in research focusing on coastal geoarchaeology, which examines the intersection of geological processes and archaeological findings along coastlines, particularly in the context of climate change and rising sea levels. - Impact of Climate Change on Geomorphology:
Studies addressing the effects of climate change on geomorphological processes, such as coastal erosion and sediment dynamics, are gaining prominence, underscoring the journal’s focus on contemporary environmental issues. - Community and Citizen Science in Geomorphology:
Emerging themes related to community involvement and citizen science initiatives in geomorphological research are becoming more prevalent, reflecting a trend towards collaborative and participatory research approaches. - Technological Advancements in Dating Techniques:
The journal is increasingly publishing studies that utilize cutting-edge dating methods, such as luminescence and isotopic analyses, indicating a trend towards enhancing the accuracy and reliability of chronological frameworks in Quaternary research. - Geoheritage and UNESCO Global Geoparks:
Research focusing on geoheritage preservation and the role of UNESCO Global Geoparks in promoting geological education and conservation is on the rise, highlighting a growing interest in the societal relevance of geomorphological studies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Sedimentology:
Research focused solely on traditional sedimentological studies without interdisciplinary approaches has become less prominent, as the journal increasingly favors studies that integrate geological and ecological perspectives. - Historical Geology:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely historical geological studies that do not connect with contemporary issues, such as climate change or human impacts on landscapes. - Single-method Studies:
The publication of studies relying on single methodologies, such as basic stratigraphic analyses without the incorporation of modern dating techniques or interdisciplinary insights, has decreased, reflecting a trend towards more comprehensive research approaches.
