 June 15-17, 2026 SEPM International Sedimentary Geosciences Congress"Defining the critical role and impact of sedimentology in a sustainable future" Colorado School of Mines • Golden, CO, USA Register Here |
Back by Popular Demand
The next ISGC is hosted at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO — a world-class institution at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
This 3-day conference features cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and applied case studies demonstrating sedimentology's impact on a sustainable future.
Planned short courses and 1-day field trips precede the meeting, with multi-day field trips after.
Five Key Themes
The program highlights cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and applied case studies.
1. Sedimentary Reservoirs, Carbon Mitigation & Energy Transition
Explore sedimentary systems as reservoirs for traditional energy extraction, carbon storage, and emerging energy solutions supporting the energy transition.
2. Water Resources, Hazards, Climate & Society
Sedimentological and stratigraphic processes governing water distribution, extreme events, flood and drought behavior, and societal impacts under climate change.
3. Sedimentary Systems Through Time: Processes & Products
Advances in understanding sedimentary systems across diverse environments, tectonic settings, and geologic time — siliciclastic, carbonate, evaporitic, and mixed systems.
4. Decoding Depositional Systems: Remote Sensing, Modeling & Experimental Stratigraphy
Quantitative and integrative approaches combining remote sensing, numerical models, laboratory experiments, and data-driven methods.
5. Anthropogenic Sediments: Contaminants & the Human Fingerprint
How human activity reshapes sedimentary environments — tracing contaminants, documenting novel sediment types, and evaluating human signals over time.
