Stratigraphy’

General Assembly 2011. Vienna,
Austria, 03 –
08 April 2011.
Fluvial deposits contain
some of our most precious groundwater and hydrocarbon resources, are archives
of paleo-environmental conditions, are sensitive to environmental change, and
rivers themselves are the conduit through which continents are linked to oceans
and basins.
The study of both modern and
ancient river deposits is therefore critical to our understanding of the
effects of forcing factors such as climate and tectonics on drainage networks
and sedimentary architecture, and in developing predictive tools for assessing
resource potential.
We cordially invite
submissions spanning the breadth of fluvial sedimentology and stratigraphy with
the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of recent advances in this area
by field-based, numerical and experimental methods on both channel- and
overbank deposits at a range of temporal and spatial scales.
We encourage submission of
interdisciplinary research on current topics such as:
·the
use of new technologies for characterisation of fluvial architecture,
heterogeneities and facies, and their applications to aquifers and hydrocarbon
reservoirs
·unravelling
preservation potential to link modern rivers to ancient successions
·quantification
of ripple- to catchment-scale sediment dynamics and interactions of the fluvial
system with adjacent environments
