Sedimentologists are playing a pivotal role in addressing global sustainability challenges by decoding the sedimentary record and applying their insights to critical resource and environmental systems. This meeting will convene researchers, industry professionals, and students to explore how sedimentology is advancing solutions in energy, climate resilience, and water security.
Meeting Focus
The program will highlight cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and applied case studies that demonstrate sedimentology’s impact in a sustainable future across key sectors:
- Hydrocarbon Exploration & Development: Improving reservoir characterization and stratigraphic prediction
- Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS): Evaluating subsurface storage potential and seal integrity
- Mineral Exploration & Development: Enhancing predictive models for sediment-hosted deposits
- Groundwater Resources: Understanding aquifer architecture and sedimentary controls on flow and recharge
Suggested major areas related to these applications include, but are not limited to:
- Sedimentary Systems through time: new applications of depositional and diagenetic processes
- Remote sensing insights into depositional systems
- Bridging the gap between morphodynamics and stratigraphy in depositional settings
- Organizing the stratigraphic record: Applications from physical and numerical models
