In geology, accretion is a process by which material is added to a tectonic plate at a subduction zone, frequently on the edge of existing continental landmasses. The added material may be sediment, volcanic arcs , seamounts , oceanic crust or other igneous features.

Kodiak Shelf in the Gulf of Alaska – The geology of the Chugach National Forest is dominated by two major lithologic units, the Valdez Group (Late Cretaceous) and the Orca Group (Paleocene and Eocene). [15] The Valdez Group is part of a 2,200-km-long by 100-km-wide belt of Mesozoic accretionary complex rocks called the Chugach terrane. [16]

The following is a partial list of scientific journals. There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past. The list given here is far from exhaustive, only containing some of the most influential, currently publishing journals in each field.
The Geological Journal is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of geology. It is published by Wiley in affiliation with Northwest University and the editors-in-chief are Ian D. Somerville (University College Dublin) and Yunpeng Dong (Northwest University). The journal was established in 1951.
Geology is a peer-reviewed publication of the Geological Society of America (GSA). GSA stated (in 2006) [1] that it is the most widely read scientific journal in the field of earth science. [needs update?] It is published monthly, with each issue containing 20 or more articles.
Diagram of accretion and erosion of sediments in a coastal system. Black arrows indicate accretion, and white arrows indicate erosion. Sedimentary budgets are a coastal management tool used to analyze and describe the different sediment inputs (sources) and outputs (sinks) on the coasts, which is used to predict morphological change in any particular coastline over time.
