The Official Journal of the Chengdu University of Technology. Ore & Energy Resource Geology publishes in English high quality original research articles, timely reviews and case-studies. Ore & Energy Resource Geology covers topics related to ore and energy resource geology in its broadest sense. Energy resource specifics such as the following: Marine geology; basin analysis and evaluation; reserve/resource estimation; seismic stratigraphy; thermal models of basin evolution; sedimentary geology; continental margins; geophysical interpretation; structural geology/tectonics land-based and oceanic and pollution studies related to exploration and mining. The following exemplifies the range of subject matter that can be described and discussed in the journal: Metalliferous and non-metalliferous (industrial mineral) ore geology of all types Energy resource deposits, including oil/petroleum, natural gas, coal, uranium Land-based and oceanic studies Economic geology Mineral economics Pollution studies related to exploration and mining Ore and gangue mineralogy Petrography, petrology, petrogenesis Host-rock studies Metallogeny and minerogenesis (e.g. metallotectonics) Specific deposits, districts, and belts Local to regional, detailed to general or reconnaissance studies, on any scale Pure and applied studies, i.e. theoretical and practical data Methodology of any kind Laboratory-based and field-oriented Geological (including stratigraphic, structural, remote-sensing) Mathematical (e.g. computer geology) Geochemical, geophysical and philosophical Research and exploration techniques
