Our Journals

The Journal Facies publishes works focussing on carbonate deposits to interpret fossil and modern ecosystems. This is addressed though facies analysis, which was originally used in exploration for hydrocarbons. Facies analysis is the reconstruction of palaeoenvironment via the interpretation of sedimentary deposits according to climatic conditions, environmental location and biological interactions. In the journal, special emphasis is placed on works that revolve around palaeobiological and palaeoecological issues, basin evolution and sedimentological processes including diagenesis and geochemistry. You can find Facies here: Facies at Springer.

Since 1989, the journal Beringeria has been publishing articles from a wide range of geoscientific fields. Beringeria is primarily open to longer articles on paleontology, paleobiology, stratigraphy, and facies analysis. The language is English or German. The issues appear at irregular intervals.
