  • I didn’t find many journals solely dedicated to marine geology in Africa in the search results. Some broader earth sciences journals include marine geology topics, such as sedimentary environments, coastal geology, etc.

  • Journal of African Earth Sciences — publishes marine geology related research (e.g. sedimentology, deltaic environments in Nigeria) among its broader scope. CoLab | https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-african-earth-sciences CoLab


🇳🇬 Nigerian / Local Journals & Outlets

  • Journal of Engineering Geology and Environmental Research (JEGER) — Nigerian journal; focuses on environmental geology, engineering geology, geophysics, foundation engineering etc. Marine geology may fit when dealing with coastal geology, sediment transport, etc. naege.org+1 | https://naege.org/publications/ naege.org

  • Journal of Mining and Geology — Although more focused on mining and terrestrial geology, some issues include sedimentary geology and related fields. Coastal/marine sediment studies occasionally appear. Geology+1 | https://www.ajol.info/index.php/jmg AJOL

  • Also, there are specific articles on marine geology topics in broader Nigerian geology journals, e.g., studies of deltaic sedimentary environments in the Niger Delta via Journal of African Earth Sciences. CoLab
