Tropical Oceanographic Research Frontiers

Tropical Oceanographic Research Frontiers (TORF)

Open Access (OA) Journal

Tropical Oceanographic Research Frontiers (TORF) is an international, peer-reviewed platform dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of oceanographic processes, marine ecosystems, and coastal dynamics within tropical and subtropical regions. The journal emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches that integrate physical, chemical, biological, and geological oceanography to address critical challenges affecting tropical marine environments. TORF welcomes innovative research that explores the interactions between ocean systems, climate variability, and human activities, aiming to support sustainable ocean management and resilience of tropical coastal communities. The publication serves as a bridge between fundamental science and applied solutions, promoting collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners across global tropical regions, published biannually online by Tecno Scientifica. Open Access — free for readers and authors, with no article processing charges.  Rapid Publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 3 weeks after submission.
