FACIES

《相》杂志发表了关于通过最广义的相分析解释古代和现代生物岩和碳酸盐沉积环境的论文。相分析曾经是油气勘探研究的核心内容，它综合了地球变化的现代和古代生物地质过程。特别强调古生物学和生态学、盆地演化、沉积学(包括成岩作用和地球化学)以及强调生命对地球历史影响的研究

The journal Facies presents papers dealing with the interpretation of ancient and modern biotopes and carbonate depositional environments by means of facies analysis in its broadest sense. Once the central part of research in hydrocarbon exploration, facies analysis integrates modern and ancient biogeological processes of a changing earth. Special emphasis is placed on paleobiology and -ecology, basin evolution, sedimentology including diagenesis and geochemistry, as well as studies emphasizing the impact of life on earth history
