Manuscripts concerning marine geotechnology should be sent to Ronald C.Chaney, Dept.of Environmental Resources Engineering, Humboldt State University, Arcata,CA 95521. E-mail: ronald32644@suddenlink.net. Manuscripts concerning marine georesources should be sent to John Charles Wiltshire, Chairman, Dept.of Ocean and Resources Engineering, University of Hawaii, 1000 Pope Road, Honolulu, HI, 96822, E-mail: johnw@soest.hawaii.edu. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts both in the form of hardcopy and electronic media. Three hardcopies of the manuscript should be submitted along with a disk containing the files.

Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:

 

Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Color art can be purchased for online only conversion and reproduction or for print + online reproduction. Color reprints can only be ordered if print + online reproduction costs are paid. Rates for color art reproduction are: Online Only Reproduction: $225 for the first page of color;$100 for each of the next three pages of color. A maximum charge of $525
applies. Print +Online Reproduction: $900 for the first page of color;$450 for each of the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than 4 pages of color.
