Evaluate the drafted changes
The article lead is clear and concise about marine geology, it gives a good introduction to what it is and what studies it involves. It is not long so the reader can get an idea about the subject quickly. What would be beneficial for this article lead is to add what the purposes and objectives of marine geology consists of. For instance, there is a brief mention that deep ocean floor is "the last essentially unexplored frontier and detailed mapping". Adding information about what projects are currently going on or what objectives is still needed to be achieved could improve this article. The article remains neutral throughout as they are no influence of bias towards marine geology.

The added section about the history of marine geology is great as it it important to know how marine geology came to be and what events happened that lead up to the science that is known today. Additionally, the next section "methods" coincides with "history" as it shows the different methods marine geology has incorporated over the years. The information is clear and well organized for each methods and relevant external links that lead to other Wikipedia articles are also included. The sources you have added for this new section is also great as they are all recent relevant sources from 2024.I also like the picture you added magnetic stripping as young ocean crust (seafloor spreading) forming was one of the greatest mysteries in marine geology for a long time.

Perhaps the only thing that would really require improvements within the sandbox article are the preexisting article subsections for instance "Overview" or "Mariana Trench" as they seem to carry little information or a little out of place. Removing these or adding information to these can make the article stronger. Additionally, the "Overview" section can be moved near the lead section or combine it with the lead paragraph as it contains introducing information about marine geology.
