I.A.S. President’s Welcome

Congress Chair’s Welcome

GeoSed President’s Welcome

The International Association of Sedimentologists has always recognised the need to include the entire Sedimentological community as active participants carrying the Society forward into the future. As part of this effort, IAS aims to catalyse and support the endeavours of all sedimentologists through - among others initiatives - the organisation of congresses and meetings. The IAS Meeting of Sedimentology (IMS) is organized each year except for the year an International Sedimentological Congress (ISC) takes place. This regional meeting gathers participants to discuss and share the most recent advances in the field of sedimentology while providing the opportunity to communicate the needs of the Membership to the Bureau. IAS is very proud sponsoring the 34th International Meeting of Sedimentology and welcoming all participants at the Sapienza University in Rome to discuss about how sedimentology can help to face societal challenges on risk, resources and record of the past. Your contribution will aid improving our present knowledge of the system Earth while defining priorities for future research. We gratefully acknowledge the researchers and professionals involved in the meeting organization and are confident that you will enjoy not only the scientific debates but also the wonderful city of Rome – la Città Eterna - that has grown and developed in a unique geological setting.

Daniel Ariztequi

On behalf of the Organising Committee I welcome all of you, the one thousand delegates participating the 34th IAS meeting of Sedimentology, to Rome and to Sapienza University. The theme of the Meeting “Sedimentology to face societal changes on risks, resources and record of the past” fits very well with the venue in our ”eternal city”, where all the landscape and the sub-surface talk about sedimentology. Most of Rome is built on Tiber River highstand alluvial deposit, or on pyroclastic (the seven hills), that overlie Pleistocene littoral sand and Pliocene marine mud, i.e. the post-rift sequences lying on top of the Meso-Cenozoic limestones. Welcome to the Sapienza University, the largest in Italy (again, with a campus made up of travertine, so that we will have a workshop just looking at their facies on the building walls!). Our main effort has been to deepen the researches in sedimentology and sedimentary geology, as well as to widen the meeting to other communities (marine geology, volcanology, extra-terrestrial geology, cultural heritage) that use the reconstruction of sedimentary processes and of the stratigraphic record as one of the main investigation tools. The result of this effort are 10 parallel sessions, 450 oral communication plus 43 Session Keyonte Talks, 3 plenary lectures and 700 posters. We worked a lot to let the meeting to be enjoyable, for the location (see where the poster will be presented!), the catering, the assistance by the volunteers. But, rephrasing Cicero, the good of the meeting will not be the excellence of the food but by the quality of the friends and of the words. Welcome!

Francesco L. Chiocci

The Italian Community of Sedimentologists is very proud to host once again the International Meeting of Sedimentology in Italy. Historically the Italian community, represented by GEOSED (Italian Association for Sedimentary Geology), has always felt to be part of the IAS and has participated and actively participates in many IAS initiatives. The Italian community has seen the meeting as a great opportunity to show their research activities and the world class outcrops that characterizes the Italy. Three workshops, one short course and a total of 15 field trips will show the sedimentology of the Italian territory, covering many and different topics. The Italian sedimentologists chair 40 sessions testifying a great activity in all field of sedimentology. I hope the meeting will foster discussion and innovative collaboration between sedimentologists of universities, research institutes and companies. I am sure the meeting will offer the ideal environment to explore new scientific frontiers that are relevant to face societal challenges on risk, resources and record of the past.Welcome to Rome and enjoy the meeting

T Roma Termini Train Station

Venue

Accommodation

The Meeting will be held at the Sapienza University of Rome. The campus (Città Universitaria) lecture rooms offer all the facilities needed for a such large conference. It is located in center of Rome, a few hundred meters far from the main railway stations (Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina) where shuttle trains and buses from international airports arrive. Countless hotels and tourist facilities are present nearby, as well as along the subway lines, whose stations are located at walking distance from the campus. Within the university campus there are a church, a police station, a post office, a bank with ATM, and the main hospital of the city is few hundred meters far.

The city of Rome offers a wide range of accommodation ranging from very cheap to very expensive. We offer the possibility of booking through [email protected]. Otherwise you may book by yourself as that the number of hotels in Rome is countless; only in one km range from Sapienza University there are more than 500 accommodation structures. The choice is huge, and it is easy to find an accommodation according to personal requirements in term of price, facilities and position. Most of the accommodation places recommended are located in the city center, within a walking distance to the university. Since Rome is a touristic city it is strongly recommended to make an early hotel booking.

Activities for Early Career Scientists (and others as well)

Following the activities organized by IAS Early Career Scientists Committee in Quebec and Toulouse meetings, in Rome we will offer a wide range of activities (open to all but mainly targeted to scientists at the beginning of their career).

BabysittingThe IAS organization cares about sedimentology as well as family, thus it would be proud to give support to all the participants and their little kids seeking for a babysitting service for all the duration of the congress.If need, please contact the IAS organization committee ([email protected]) and we will be happy to help you.

ECS workshop: “How to survive to a review” Wednesday 11th, Museum of Classical Arts, Room Odeion, Lunch time Tracy Frank (Un. Nebraska) and Adriano Viana (Petrobras)Although the manuscript has been hardly prepared, although you double checked your English, although you spent many days working on the last figure, the reviewers always have something to complain. It’s a long way to the top… and how to reach it now? What do the reviewers and the editors expect from your work now? How to deal with all the comments and suggestions in a properly way? Come to the ECS workshop “How to survive to a review”: our speakers will give you all the answers and all the suggestions you need to improve your way to review your manuscripts. The workshop, free of charge, will be held during meeting days during lunch time.

ECS workshop: “How to prepare your CV (and yourselves) for an application” Friday 13th, Museum of Classical Arts, Room Odeion, Lunch time, by editors of different IAS journalsWebsites are full of job opportunities… but now you found the job you have always dreamt. There is only a gap between you and it: the application. How could you show the commission that you are the right man/woman in the right place? Which are the differences between the academical and the industrial world? Come to the ECS workshop “How to prepare your CV (and

yourselves) for an application” and you will find the right way to valorise your job profile for the application you are looking for.Two technical training workshops will be organised, mainly (but not only) addressed to Early Career Scientists. They will deal with “How to prepare a successful CV” and “how to survive referee”. The workshop, free of charge, will be held during meeting days during lunch time.

ECS cornerDo you want to briefly show your work? Have you got a brilliant idea to share? Are you looking for a job position and do you want to present your competencies through what you are doing? Come to the ECS corner! Launched for the first time in Québec City 2018, the ECS corner is an open space where PhD students and early career scientists have a microphone, a laptop and 5 minutes to interact with the sedimentological community, showing who they are, what they are doing and discuss their data and ideas. Thus, we are waiting for you there! But, don’t waste time and express your interest to the ECS corner ([email protected]).

Best Poster Prizes IAS 34th Meeting will award two best poster prizes, one for Student and one for ECS (i.e. post-doc and researchers with less than 7 years from their PhD). Those wishing to volunteer for prizes may contact [email protected].

Evening eventAn evening event will be organized, not overlapping with the conference dinner, in a pub or other location, to have a friendly, unformal meeting among ECS researchers. Details will be given on the conference app and during the meeting.

Session Description, Convener(s) and Skt Hours

1.A Carbonate producers and Cenozoic platforms

Daniela Basso - [email protected]; Valentina Bracchi; Giovanni Coletti (Univ. Milano-Bicocca, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Italy)

Carbonate depositional systems record changes in architecture, geometry, texture, lithofacies, and biogenic components through time. Carbonate producers are living organisms with precise energetic and environmental requirements, therefore climatic and oceanographic variations, driven by geology, exert a strong influence over them. This is especially true for neritic systems located at the boundary between the tropical and temperate realms, which are very sensitive to climate belts dynamics through geological time and to sea-level oscillations. The Earth went through major environmental revolutions during the Cenozoic, shifting from a “greenhouse” to an “icehouse” world and witnessing dramatic oceanographic events. Several global changes affected the functioning and the relative dominance of the major carbonate factories (coral reefs, large benthic foraminifera banks, rhodolith beds and algal build-ups) that recorded in detail the temporal and spatial variation of these events. Unveiling this natural archive is of paramount importance for understanding and modelling the future of our planet under the expected consequences of the ongoing climate change. This session aims at offering an overview of the Cenozoic environmental evolution of our planet by presenting a series of case histories from a suite of diverse carbonate factories, geological contexts and time, to depict their inception, evolution and demise.

1.B Open Session on Carbonates & Bioconstructions

Stephen Lokier- [email protected] (Bangor University, UK); Laura Tomassetti (Earth Science Department, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy)

This Open Session invites contributions from general and interdisciplinary topics within the diverse fields of Carbonates (marine and continental) and Bioconstructions. The session provides an opportunity to present studies that do not sit comfortably within any of the research topics covered by the special themes.

Session Keynote Talk (SKT) – Tuesday, 10 – Room Aula Magna – 12:00 – 12:30 pm - “Marine cementation in Quaternary reefs: a quantitative approach“ Prof. Eberhard Gischler

Understanding carbonate factories through paleoecological and geochemical signals

Guillem Mateu-Vicens - [email protected] (Dept. of Biology, University of the Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, Spain); Marco Brandano (Earth Science Department, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy); Juan Ignacio (Baceta, Department of Stratigraphy and Paleontology, The University of the Basque Country, Spain)

Carbonate factories are possibly dependent by many environmental factors such as carbonate saturation, biological metabolism, biologically-controlled and -induced carbonate precipitation, loci of accumulation and preservation. How the conditions for a carbonate factory efficiency can been achieved and how the conditions have varied with evolutionary history, atmosphere and ocean chemistry, tectonic plate configurations, paleoclimate, and other factors will be discussed in the session. Contributions and case histories dealing on facies and geochemical characterization of carbonate factories from Paleozoic to Modern carbonate platforms are welcome.

The carbonate platform record of extreme palaeoenvironmental events

Mariano Parente - [email protected] (University of Naples Federico II, Italy); Sabrina Amodio (University of Naples Parthenope, Italy); Helmut Weissert (ETH Zürich, Switzerland)

Shallow-water carbonate platforms provide unique windows to Earth’s geological past. These environments document the response of neritic biocalcifiers to severe perturbations of biogeochemical cycles and host a precious record of carbonate-associated proxies of past ocean conditions. In this session we invite contributions that employ traditional and novel approaches to decipher the palaeonvironmental archive of shallow-water carbonates. Within this broad topic, contributions dealing with stratigraphic intervals encompassing extreme events, like the end-Permian, end-Triassic and end-Cretaceous events, the Mesozoic OAE sand the Cenozoic hyperthermals are particularly encouraged.

3D modelling of carbonates: techniques and applications at different scales and processes

L. Tomassetti - [email protected] (Earth Science Department, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy); M. Franceschi (Department of Geosciences, University of Padua, Italy); B. Bádenas (Department of Earth Science, University of Zaragoza, Spain); S. Tomás (Institute of Geoscience, University of Potsdam, Germany); J. Kenter (Total, France)

3D modelling holds great potential for the quantitative study of carbonates at different scales and its application ranges, for example, from volume assessment, calculation of growth rates and distribution of facies and heterogeneities to forward modelling of sedimentation and diagenetic processes. Several methods (e.g. seismic, photogrammetry, LIDAR, drone and hyperspectral imaging, CT scanning) provide an invaluable and increasingly accessible source of three-dimensional information and software for data management and interpretation is becoming increasingly sophisticated. However, integration of datasets through efficient workflows as well as adequate data-sharing platforms and standardization of formats are still underdeveloped. This session seeks contributions of 3D modelling examples across different scales and within the broad field of carbonate sedimentology to capture the range of applications, the current state of the art on workflows including those for sharing data sets and, finally, stimulate discussion on synergies and new directions to improve the understanding of carbonate sedimentary systems.

2.A Estuarine systems: from morphodynamics to stratigraphy

Massimiliano Ghinassi - [email protected]; D’Alpaos Andrea, Dr. Alvise Finotello (Department of Geosciences, University of Padua, Italy)

Estuaries are delicate coastal environments, which evolve under the intertwined effect of hydrological, chemical and biological processes. In the past, the complex interaction among these processes promoted the accumulation of thick sedimentary successions, which can be of relevant economic importance (i.e. hydrocarbon reservoirs). Today, the morphodynamics of coastal environments occurs under the influence of rapid climate changes and anthropogenic pressures, which make imminent evolution of estuarine systems poorly predictable. Understanding estuarine morphodynamics and related deposits has therefore remarkable social and economic implications, both in terms of landscape management and subsurface exploration. Exploiting the up-to-date knowledge about estuarine morphodynamics, this session aims at reconciling results from field studies, mathematical modelling and laboratory investigations in order to discuss: i) principles to investigate estuarine sedimentary products; ii) models to predict evolution of estuarine systems. This session aims at bringing together researchers working on modern geomorphology and ancient deposits, as well as researchers undertaking physical and numerical modelling approaches. Presentations are welcome on all aspects of estuarine systems: hydrology, hydrodynamics, morphological characterisation, morphodynamics, sediment transport, stratigraphy, impact of climate change and sea-level rise.

Session Keynote Talk (SKT) – Wednesday, 11 – Room 1 ESD – 02:00 – 02:30 pm - “How tides and rivers shape levees and crevasses: Holocene overbank phases of the Old Rhine river, the Netherlands” Dr. Harm Jan Pierik, Mr. Jelle Moree, Mrs. Lonneke Roelofs, Mr. Marcio Boechat Albernaz, Dr. Antoine Wilbers, Mr. Jasper Leuven, Dr.Tjalling de Haas, Prof. Maarten Kleinhans

Along-strike variability in modern and ancient coastal and shelfal depositional environments

Miquel Poyatos Moré [email protected] (Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Norway); Ernesto Schwarz (Centro de Investigaciones Geológicas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata-CONICET, Argentina); Alessandro Amorosi (Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy); Janok Bhattacharya (School of Geography and Earth Sciences, McMaster University, Canada)

Basin margin development and the timing of sediment transport to the oceans are strongly influenced by the position and character of paralic systems relative to the changing physiography of the coastline, and the relative dominance of depositional processes occurring along its adjacent shelf. Here, the dynamic interaction of numerous factors results in a complex heterogeneity of nearshore deposits, observable both in modern, ancient and high-resolution seismic datasets. This complexity has been generally well studied along depositional dip profiles, but the lateral (along-strike) variability of sedimentary systems from the shoreline to the shelf is less understood, possibly due to the difficulty in recognizing sub-seismic lateral facies changes, and the absence of well-documented large-scale outcrop examples. Consequently, the lateral variability of nearshore sedimentary systems and its resulting complex stratigraphic expression are still poorly constrained. In this session we invite contributions from both modern and ancient studies of coastal to shelfal depositional environments, which might help improving our understanding about the complex interaction between numerous factors in this segment of source-to-sink systems. The session aims to integrate detailed studies of internal bed-scale facies architecture with larger-scale plan-view analysis, tracking along-strike geomorphological changes and controls in the resulting laterally-variable stratigraphic record of these system.

2.C Aeolian sediments and coastal systems

Lars Clemmensen- [email protected] (University of Copenhagen) and Ken Pye (Kenneth Pye Associates Ltd., Reading, UK).

The session would cover both modern and ancient environments. It would be timely to have papers looking at the linkages between climate (including windiness) and sea level change, aeolian sedimentation, dune mobility and stabilization phases, including carbonate-rich dunes (aeolianites), siliciclastic dunes and paleosol sequences.

Interplays of hydrodynamic processes in shallow marine environments

Romain Vaucher- [email protected] (CICTERRA, National University of Córdoba, Argentina); Marcello Gugliotta (Estuary Research Center -EsReC, Shimane University, Japan)

Do purely wave, tide, and fluvial environments in shallow-marine settings exist? In the last decade, an increased number of studies referring to “hybrid sedimentary systems” or “mixed-energy system” have been published. These studies focus on the interplay of at least two of the three main processes (i.e., river, tide and wave) controlling sedimentation and depositional architecture in coastal to shallow-marine settings. This led to the identification of hybrid sedimentary structures generated as the result of wave-tide and river-tide process interactions, whereas less attention has been paid to wave-river ones. More studies are required to refine our conceptual models of facies and how interplays influence the sedimentation from the genesis of bedforms towards the overall geometry of the systems. This session aspires to group research exhibiting data from modern and ancient marginal marine environments subjected to process interplay and other studies on this topic based on numerical modelling and flume experiments.

Deep-water channels: Morphology, architecture, flow processes and sedimentation

Chenglin Gong [email protected] (College of Geosciences, China University of Petroleum, Beijing, China); Peter Talling (Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography, Durham University, UK), Michele Rebesco (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics- OGS, Italy); Matthieu Cartigny (Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography, Durham University, UK); Maarten Heijnen (National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton Waterfront Campus, UK); Peng Hu (Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhejiang, China)

Deep-water channels in either marine or lacustrine have been the focus of extensive research since their discovery in the early 20th century. This is largely because they: (1) play a significant role in shaping and building continental margins; (2) are prodigious features traversing hundreds or even thousands of km of the seafloor; (3) serve as the major conduits for the delivery of large quantities of nutrients, pollutants, carbon, and sediments into deep-water sites; (4) preserve critical paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic information; and (5) form major subsurface oil and gas reservoirs worldwide. Despite their significance and widespread occurrence, deep-water channels remain a key research challenge in sedimentological community, because of their three- dimensional complexity and diversity. We hope the proposed session will facilitate open and lively discussion towards an advanced and deeper understanding of all aspects of deep-water channels in either marine and lacustrine basins. We solicit presentations that explore morphology, architecture, flow dynamics, and genesis of deep-water channels, and welcome studies that may include, but not limited to: How do deep-water channels work; including how they are formed and maintained, internal flow processes, and how they evolve. Morphology, architecture, genesis, and reservoir characterization of deep-water channels in either marine or lacustrine basins. How submarine channels host and influence ecological communities, and their globally important role for organic carbon transfer and burial. New ways to study deep-water channels, including numerical simulations, physical experiments, and direct field observations of active events on the seafloor.

Linking deep water depositional processes, facies and stratigraphy

Jörg Lang [email protected] (Institute of Geology, Leibniz University Hannover, Hannover, Germany); Juan J. Fedele (ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, Houston, USA); David C. Hoyal (ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, Houston, USA); Roberto Tinterri (Earth Sciences Unit, University of Parma, Parma, Italy); Timothy M. Demko (ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company, Houston, USA); Fabiano Gamberi (Institute of Marine Sciences - National Research Council, Bologna, Italy)

Understanding sedimentary processes is crucial to comprehend the sediment dispersal and the depositional record of deep water systems. Recently, new insights into flow processes, based on direct flow measurements and experiments, have led to revised interpretations of depositional processes in deep water systems. Concomitantly, investigations of the seafloor have contributed detailed images of geomorphic elements in the different deep water environments. Refined process-based facies models, linking depositional processes to stratigraphy, have thus been developed, also thanks to the contributions by outcrop and seismic data studies. Nevertheless, many important aspects of deep water sedimentary systems and their interrelations remain poorly understood. Our knowledge, however, can be improved especially through the integration of results from different research approaches. This session aims to bring together contributions on observations from modern systems (flow monitoring-seafloor bathymetry), outcrops, seismic data and experiments (physical-numerical) to deal with these issues. We seek contributions addressing the behaviour of sediment-gravity flows, focusing on: subcritical vs. supercritical flows, surging vs. sustained flows, transitional-hybrid events and interactions between flows and basin morphology. At a larger scale we aim at integrating different views regarding: autogenic organization vs. allogenic forcing, intrabasinal vs. extrabasinal controls, oceanographic forcing, sediment-feeding systems, sediment supply, tectonics and sequence stratigraphy.

Non-marine carbonates: from the geological record to present-day processes in continental settings

Giovanna Della Porta - [email protected] (University of Milan, Earth Sciences Department, Milan, Italy); Enrico Capezzuoli (University of Florence, Earth Sciences Department, Florence, Italy); Mike Rogerson (University of Hull, School of Environmental Sciences, Hull, UK); Ezher Tagliasacchi (Pamukkale University, Turkey)

Non-marine carbonates form in a variety of depositional settings such as lakes, rivers, hydrothermal vents, caves and soils, representing a significant component of terrestrial sedimentary basins and useful proxies of palaeoenvironmental conditions. Understanding modern physico-chemical and microbially mediated processes of non-marine carbonate precipitation helps constraining biogeochemical cycles and investigating the geological past in terms of changing depositional environments, hydrology and climate. A robust understanding of what features of a sediment are uniquely microbial is also a critical requirement of dawn of life studies on Earth and astro-biological research. This session aims to get better insights into the variety of non-marine carbonate facies and the abiotic/biotic control on processes of carbonate and associated minerals precipitation. We welcome contributions investigating fossil and modern non-marine carbonates through multi-disciplinary approaches highlighting their variability across different depositional environments and the biological, environmental and physico-chemical factors controlling their formation, fabrics, accumulation rates and spatial distribution.

Palaeosols: a treasure chest to understand the sedimentary processes in continental realm

Giorgio Basilici- [email protected] (Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil); Marco Benvenuti (University of Florence, Italy); Stefano Carnicelli (University of Florence, Italy); Isabelle Cojan (Centre de Géosciences, Mines ParisTech, France); André Marconato (Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Brazil); María Sol Raigemborn (Centro de Investigaciones Geológicas, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina); Augusto Varela (CONICET – Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina)

Palaeosol are constantly present in continental sedimentary successions, from the Archean to the Present. Their occurrence can be extremely variable: from almost completely absent, where high sedimentation rate or extreme palaeoenvironmental conditions acted, to comprise more than 80% of the thickness in many other sedimentary successions. Nevertheless, the attention of who studies the ancient continental sedimentary successions is not always proportional to the occurrence of palaeosols.Although since the 80s the scientific consideration of palaeosols certainly increased, studies focusing palaeosols are not common in scientific papers and even more uncommon are studies linking sedimentary processes and palaeosols. Notwithstanding, palaeosols represent in continental sedimentary succession, a data source probably much more efficient than sediments. Indeed, if the deposits are commonly yielded by rapid and paroxysmal processes, often associated to abnormal conditions of the depositional environment, the palaeosols do not follow these rules. A well-developed palaeosol forms in more than 1000yr; during this period this is an open-system, that can record all the environmental conditions and changes in the atmosphere and just beneath its surface.By proposing this session we want stimulate the sedimentologists to present whichever communication whose focus are the palaeosols and/or their relationships with the sedimentary environments.

Lacustrine sediments can provide outstanding high-resolution and continuous archives of climate change, environmental evolution, anthropogenic impact, and tectonics. Only using a multiproxy approach is possible to disentangle the often intertwined biogeochemical and/or physical processes triggered by these phenomena. We target novel approaches and new exploration fields for the study of lacustrine systems, including modern limnology. Thus, we encourage oral and posters contributions that present basic and applied research on all aspects of both modern and ancient lake systems assembling a wide range of geophysical, sedimentological, geochemical, biological remains, and geomicrobiological datasets. Numerical models on lacustrine hydrodynamics are also welcome.

Lacustrine basins are important oil & gas-productive areas of the world. In recent years, lacustrine sedimentology has made great achievement in term of source-sink system analysis, shallow-water delta, beachbar, deep-water sediments, fine-grained deposits, lacustrine carbonate, events deposits, deep reservoir forming mechanism and seismic sedimentology. Even so, problems and challenges of the lacustrine sedimentology are widely existed and needed to carry out innovation. The main idea of this theme is innovation and new exploration fields of lacustrine deposits. Specific subthemes may be referenced but not limited to the following eight aspects. Subthemes: - The gravity flow of lacustrine basins (hyperpycnal flows, MTDs, debris flow, sublacustrine landslide, turbidity flow) -Fine grained deposition and unconventional resources-Beach and bar of lacustrine basins-Shallow-water delta- Lacustrine carbonate, mixed deposits and reservoir- Modern lacustrine analogues-Lacustrine hydrodynamics (waves, alongshore currents, bottom currents)and related sediments- Other new field of exploration and development

Sedimentary processes, stratal architecture and stratigraphy of alluvial systems

Ghinassi M. - [email protected](University of Padua, Italy); Colombera L. (University of Leeds, UK); Fielding C. (University of Nebraska–Lincoln, USA), Mancini M. (CNR- IGAG, Rome)

Understanding of alluvial sedimentary processes and investigations of how genetically related alluvial units are organized in the stratigraphic record are key matters in sedimentology. Although remarkable advances in our understanding of alluvial systems have been made over the past decades, there still remains scope for a more refined investigation of alluvial deposition.This session calls for contributions on recent and on-going advances in the field of alluvial sedimentology, with specific emphasis on studies linking sedimentary processes and morphodynamics with related products in the rock record. Contributions are invited on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: linking modern alluvial systems to their ancient preserved counterparts; novel data collection methods; facies models for alluvial systems; numerical modelling and laboratory experiments on alluvial processes and stratigraphy; interactions of alluvial systems with other environments, including lakes, deserts, deltas, estuaries, shorelines; interaction between alluvial deposition and tectonics.

Technological and conceptual advances in sequence stratigraphy. New achievements and open questions

Domenico Ridente - [email protected] (CNR-IGAG, Rome, Italy); Bilal U. Haq (Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., USA), Christian Gorini (UPMC Sorbonne Universitès, Paris, France), Adriano Viana (Petrobras, Brazil)

Sequence stratigraphy developed as a new model in stratigraphy after the integration of the Exxon seismic-stratigraphic method with genetic concepts linking seismic attributes to sedimentary dynamics. The sequence stratigraphy model has been the focus of debates and proposals for nomenclatural and conceptual revision, owing to the increasing scenarios and different scale of application, each with its own practical requirements and specific key features as to the role of sediment supply and sea level in controlling sequence architecture. Methodological and conceptual advances driven by new technologies (such as 3D seismic geomorphology) have greatly improved high-resolution geophysical and subsurface studies, allowing, to some degree, to reduce the gap in scale and details compared with facies-based studies in the field. In addition, recent development of satellite imaging and the use of drone technology in wide ranging surveys, may provide means for conceiving field analysis from the perspective of regional, seismic-based geometric criteria. In this Session we welcome multi-scale and multi-approach studies that provide methodological and conceptual insights that may contribute in addressing open questions and enhance the development of sequence stratigraphy as an analytical method and an interpretative stratigraphic model

Microbialites are fascinating organo-sedimentary deposits that are present throughout the entire geological marine record. These deposits are typified by a wide spectrum of particular morphologies, in a variety of lithologies (carbonate, clastic, evaporite, phosphorite), and occur in a wide range of marine settings, including shallow and deep water environments as well as in extreme sedimentary environments (i.e. hypersaline and hydrothermal). The interest in microbialites from the scientific community and

The intrinsically complex nature of sedimentary dynamics, both in time and space, exert a fundamental control on the abundance, variety and quality of information engraved in deep-time geological records. Integration of basin analysis and sequence stratigraphy with such areas as palaeobiology, biostratigraphy and geochemistry provides a powerful, interdisciplinary approach to reconstruct past environmental scenarios and biodiversity dynamics. As pointed out by the new discipline of stratigraphic palaeobiology, patterns observed in the fossil record can largely be predicted based on the stratigraphic architecture, e.g. the distribution of hiatuses and condensation surfaces. Stratigraphic palaeobiology also offers analytical tools allowing to account for these controls and the same tools can be equally applied to geochemical data. In fact, subaerial exposure, phases of non‐deposition, erosion, reworking and bypass of sediments strongly impact also the geochemical record and cannot be overlooked. In this session, we aim at bringing together sedimentologists, palaeobiologists and geochemists to demonstrate how sequence stratigraphy can be employed as a common information framework in all these fields, and foster collaborations towards a better understanding of the links between past biotic and palaeoenvironmental changes.

industry has increased exponentially in recent years because of their significance in unravelling the evolutionary history of life on Earth (and virtually on other planets), and their role in petroleum systems, as source and reservoir rocks. This session encourages contributions on any aspect of modern and fossil marine microbialites, especially where information is coming from different disciplines: sedimentology, geochemistry and geomicrobiology.

7.B When volcanoes meet the environment

Andrea Di Capua - [email protected] (CNR – IDPA, Italy); Gabor Kereszturi (Massey University, New Zealand)

Primary and secondary volcaniclastic processes represent the crossroad between volcanological and sedimentological processes, and their influence on the environment is largely recognized. Nevertheless, a gap still exists between sedimentological and volcanological approaches to the same problems. This session aims to bring together researchers working on volcanic or volcanically influenced terrains to unravel the generation, transport and settling of volcanic particles through the geological time in different environments, in order to narrow this gap. We invite presentations that include, but are not limited to, 1) field-based description and interpretation of volcanoclastic sediments and related processes both in modern and ancient realms, 2) provenance studies that highlight the influence of volcanic activity on sedimentary basins, 3) studies on the characterization of physico-chemical processes that lead to the generation and weathering of volcaniclastic particles through time. This session is co-sponsored by the Commission on Volcanogenic Sediment of the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI).

Larter (British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK); Colm O’Cofaig (Department of Geography, University of Durham, UK)

The study of sedimentary processes in polar areas contributes to reconstructions of climate, environmental and oceanographic conditions, as well as ice-sheet dynamics on high-latitude continental margins. Such studies can be based on the integration of acoustic data, including swath bathymetry and sub-bottom profiles, seismic data, as well as multi-proxy analyses of sediment cores including drill cores. The rapid response of the polar areas to the recent global climate warming is predicted to accelerate sea-level rise, leading to strong environmental and socio-economic impacts. A thorough knowledge about mechanisms forcing climate change in the past is an essential tool to understand the present state and to predict the future development of the large ice sheets in Antarctica and on Greenland in a geological context. Enhancing this knowledge requires an integrated effort of the scientific community. The aim of this multi-disciplinary session is to bring together researchers working on northern and southern high-latitude continental margins, investigating the sedimentary processes associated with past and present ice-sheets dynamics and paleo-oceanographic effects on the marine sedimentation from both observational and modelling approaches.

7.D

Bottom currents (BCs) and contourite depositional systems (CDSs) are important component of deep ocean basins and continental margins. The last decades have seen significant progresses in the characterization of CDSs and role of bottom currents on sedimentary and geomorphic processes. In order to better address the relationships between oceanographic processes, morpho-sedimentary processes and CDSs development further improvements are, however, still necessary. In this regard, a multidisciplinary approach among many disciplines (sedimentology, seismic stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, geochemistry, physical and biological oceanography, numerical modeling, etc) using high-quality datasets may provide new significant insights. Contributions from modern and ancient environments (both ancient deposits and outcrops) addressing CDSs nature (e.g., architecture, morphology, stratigraphy, lithology, habitats), mechanisms responsible for their formation and interplay with other processes (e.g., turbidites vs contourites, hemipelagites vs contourites) are welcome. In particular, major topics will be: 1) Link between bottom currents and contourite sedimentation at different scales: a) Small scale: sedimentological records (e.g., facies, drift accumulation, erosion-reworking) and site survey data (current meter measurements oceanographic transects) showing variability of BCs b) Large scale: distribution of CDSs and numerical simulations and circulation models (oceanic and regional) 2) CDSs in the sequence stratigraphic framework3) Relevance for slope stability.

Modern and ancient straits and seaways: sedimentary processes, hydrodynamics, facies models and perspectives

Rossi(University of Bergen, Norway); Domenico Chiarella (Royal Holloway University, London, UK); Namik Çağatay (Istanbul Technical University, Ayazaga, Turkey); Gemma Ercilla (Spanish National Research Council, Barcelona, Spain)

Tidal and non-tidal straits and seaways are challenging geological areas governed by current amplification generated by local oceanographic narrowing and providing uncommon sedimentary conditions. Although the growing interest on such systems due to their potential for production of renewable energy, strategic role for the transport industry, climatic impact on the interconnected basins and many more, straits and seaways lack accurate depositional models predicting their space-time sedimentary dynamics and evolution. This session is primarily aimed at defining the state of knowledge on the variety of sedimentary processes and distinctive depositional signatures of these systems. Secondly, it wants to provide a chance for stimulating discussions, idea exchanges and joint collaborations between sedimentologists, marine geologists, geophysicists, oceanographers and other researchers involved in the investigation of modern and ancient cases. After the opening of the key note of Robert W. Dalrymple (Queen’s University, Canada), talks and posters focused on recent breakthroughs, theoretical hydro-sedimentary modeling, interplay between tidal or oceanographic currents and other strait-related processes will be welcome. We also encourage presentations aimed at the re-examination of the recognition criteria of ancient straits in the rock record, the creation of static or dynamic facies-based models, and the discussion of present uncertainties or still unsolved aspects.

Subaqueous mass movements and their consequences: from scientific knowledge to geohazard assessmentSponsored by S4SLIDE-IGCP640)

Subaqueous mass movements occur in lakes, fjords and oceans of the world, playing a key role in the evolution of coastal areas and continental margins as they represent one of the most efficient mechanisms of sediment transport from coastal to deep basins. The mapping and characterization of such processes has also significant implications for geohazard assessment, because such events can directly impact coastal and offshore infrastructures as well as cause local but destructive tsunamis. The aim of this session is to

provide a forum to discuss field (outcrop, core and geophysical), experimental and numerical studies that advance our knowledge on the occurrence, failure and post-failure behavior of subaqueous mass movements. Particularly we encourage multidisciplinary contributions aimed to assess and mitigate the geohazard potential associated to these processes both at local and regional scale.

Extreme/catastrophic events are by definition rare and episodic, but they have occurred frequently throughout Earth’s history. High magnitude events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, large-scale landslides, extreme floods and storms, extraterrestrial impacts, etc. often leave a sedimentary imprint in the geological record. Nevertheless, recognition of extreme event traces in sedimentary successions is often difficult and may be ambiguous. This session is focused on examples of seismites, tsunamites, and other sedimentary deposits that have been formed by extreme events. We encourage contributions including field-based examples discussing different approaches on data analysis and interpretation of these deposits. We also welcome studies on analogical modelling and numerical simulation for relationships between triggering processes and products of extreme events.

Studies in Martian sedimentary geology have never been more active. Orbital imagery has revealed a vast, ancient stratigraphic record and rover missions have enabled detailed sedimentological studies combined with mineralogical and chemical analyses. A growing list of geomorphic landforms is also known from Titan, though it remains uncertain whether the moon has a more ancient stratigraphic record. As on Earth, extraterrestrial sedimentary rocks may archive information pertaining to ancient climate, tectonics and potentially, life. Considering ongoing and future exploration missions aim to find potentially habitable environments, sedimentary rock outcrops therefore make desirable targets. This session invites any contribution towards Martian and Titan sedimentary geology and geochemistry. In addition to the classic contributions, we particularly welcome presentations that utilise appropriate Earth analogues, both modern and ancient. As ongoing and upcoming rover missions are providing increased opportunity to study extraterrestrial sedimentary strata, understanding directly accessible Earth analogues from which to base comparisons has never been more essential.

Stefano Lugli - [email protected] University of Modena - Reggio Emilia, Italy); Maciej Babel (University of Warsaw, Poland); Vinicio Manzi (University of Parma, Italy)

After the full recognition of evaporites as true sediments, and not just chemical precipitates, a large array of sedimentological features have been documented in the last few tens of years, ranging from displacive, intergrowing (related to crystal growth),cumulate, branching, and to any type of clastic, and much more.Some of the sedimentary features are truly complex and may need to be carefully interpreted, especially after common diagenetic and later transformations, which may deeply change their original appearance.The goal of this session is to explore the very wide archive of sedimentary and diagenetic features on Earth, which actually represent our reference to understand what we are expecting to find on other planets, where evaporites are known to be present and are just waiting to be described in detail.

8.A Ichnology, trace fossils and depositional environment

Francisco Rodrìquez-Tovar [email protected] (University of Granada, Spain); Andreas Wetzel (University of Basel, Switzerland)

Biogenic sedimentary structures produced by organisms store important information for the interpretation of depositional settings because trace fossil producers sensitively respond on environmental conditions. In many instances trace fossils provide the only record of environmental changes. It is the purpose of the session to show new developments in ichnologic research and to illustrate the use of trace fossils in environmental analysis by case studies. Contributions may focus on both investigations in the Recent and in the rock record and may address (paleo)biological, sedimentological and geochemical and applied aspects in addition.

Sediment generation and associated routing systems regulate the fate of sediments from source to sink. They are intimately connected, and result from the interplay of allogenic controls such as tectonics, climate and lithology which largely control denudation, sediment transport, deposition and storage. The quantitative assessment of source to sink systems requires multidisciplinary approaches, including the determination of sediment volumes and fluxes, composition and grain-size, or, in case of ancient systems, inverse reconstruction of the source area characteristics from the detrital mineralogy of basins including geo- and thermochronology approaches. In this session, we particularly encourage contributions focusing on how external forcing controls sediment generation, and the factors governing sediment grain-size partitioning and trajectories and their distribution within a sedimentary system.

The session start as a session honouring the contributions of Gian Gaspare Zuffa to arenite petrology and the source to sink paleogeography by using detrital signatures of arenites. Spatial and temporal significance of sand particles are one of the main focus for outstanding quantitative provenance analysis of clastic sediments, a topic in which after pioneering work of Zuffa in 1980, thirty years of research provided significant contributions in diverse ancient and modern sedimentary basins in the world. Extrabasinal to intrabasinal processes and related grains generation, and dispersal pathways within sedimentary basins, can quantify sedimentary budgets that are useful for paleogeographic and paleotectonic reconstructions.

Anthropocene: a rising and critical issue in Earth Science and Society

Sergio Cappucci- [email protected](ENEA, Italy); Vincenzo Pascucci (University of Sassari, Italy); Martin R. Gibling (Dalhousie University, Canada)

Biotic and atmospheric markers of human influence in the Anthropocene have been identified, but stratigraphic evidence is still debated by the geological community. Some stratigraphic signals are synchronous and distributed worldwide. Others are related to local dispersal of legacy sediments, pollutants, and technological debris, with records that extend back to the later Pleistocene. Many human-generated materials degrade slowly, allowing waste and relict ruins to be preserved as “anthropic fossils”. The session gives an opportunity for sedimentologists to contribute more fully to the “Anthropocene debate” through research and datasets on sedimentary features and anthropogenic markers. We seek presentations from land-based research (archaeological sites, urban areas, contaminated sites, caves, mines, rivers, dams, forests and agricultural areas) and the submerged environment (coastal areas, continental shelves, deep ocean, lakes, lagoons and estuaries). The Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) has recommended formal designation of the Anthropocene starting at 1950, and the geological community is approaching the formalization of a new geological epoch. In view of the widespread interest in this concept, the IAS community needs to actively engage the public around the Anthropocene question. The session aims to promote a knowledgeable and coherent approach to these important, wide-ranging issues.

Beach erosion is the result of a deficit in the coastal sediment budget. To manage this process coastal sediment stock assessment is crucial, even more under the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) framework. Being hard to increase sediment input from the river system, which is actually reducing due to soil erosion control, flood reduction and dams construction, a knowledge based managing of sediment moving along the coast is the only possible short and medium time strategy to address the problem, with or without hard shore protection structures. On the other side, shelf sediments are increasingly used to artificially nourish eroding beaches, but this non-renewable resource needs to be assessed and managed in the most sustainable and profitable way. The same is for sediments deposited on the updrift side of harbors and marinas, as well at river mouth jetties; a land-to-land nourishment can be carried out through bypass systems, provided a strong knowledge of the sediment budget and supported by stakeholders consent. Under a growing human coastal occupation, and within a sea level rise scenario, managing coastal sediments has scientific, technical and administrative issues which deserve more consideration, also to reduce stakeholders conflicts. Aim of the proposed session is to collect and compare scientific, technical and legal experiences supporting a wise management of this precious resource.

New concepts and tools to unravel depositional architecture in deforming basins: From seismic stratigraphy to analogue models

Andrea Argnani - [email protected] (ISMAR-CNR, Bologna, Italy); Fabiano Gamberi (ISMAR-CNR, Bologna, Italy); Andrew Madof (Chevron Energy Technology Company), Massimo Rossi (Eni Upstream & Technical Services)

The study of multi-scale datasets and the integration between disciplines plays a key role in the exploration and exploitation of resources, for which a thorough understanding of subsurface stratigraphic architecture is an essential pre-requisite. In recent years, new thinking and technologies have emerged to help unlock additional hydrocarbon reserves, especially in challenging settings such as basins undergoing active deformation and morphostructural reshaping. An increasing number of studies now conclude that sequence stratigraphic concepts need to be re-considered with the aim of constructing an inductive and model-independent discipline, thereby departing from the current, deductive, and aprioristic approach. Looking from a cross-disciplinary perspective, this session aims at attracting contributions that address relationships between tectonics and sedimentation using revised sequence-stratigraphic approaches, both surface and subsurface datasets, and integration between scales.We seek contributions from researchers using: 3D-based data that documents laterally-variable accommodation in settings with moving tectonic hinges; the record of depositional systems and their response to high-frequency allogenic and autogenic changes; process-oriented stratigraphic reconstructions (high-resolution 3D seismostratigraphic interpretation and seismic geomorphology); numerical and analogic stratigraphic modelling (three-dimensional visualization and synthetic stratigraphy); and integration between digital outcrop models and subsurface data.

Sedimentology at reservoir-scale: recent improvements and way forward

Francesco Bigoni - [email protected] (Eni SpA Upstream and Technical Services); Ornella Borromeo (Eni SpA Upstream and Technical Services); Massimo Catanzaro (Eni SpA Upstream and Technical Services); Giancarlo Davoli (Eni SpA Upstream and Technical Services)

Sedimentology has always represented a key factor for reservoir modelling, being the main driver to infer the reservoir vs non-reservoir facies characteristics and relationships, as well as porosity and permeability distributions. Recent improvements in reservoir modelling capabilities and computational capacity result in the chance to input reservoir models with more accurate sedimentological data and to obtain more geologically consistent representations. This leads to different modelling opportunities: a first approach is to build large geocellular models, unlocking the possibility to represent the reservoir heterogeneity in greater detail; another approach is the realization of a high number (tens to hundreds) of equiprobable and alternative scenarios in the attempt to capture the reservoir uncertainties. The two approaches are not mutually exclusive. However, independently of the modelling approach, accurate sedimentological models derived from subsurface and outcrop analogues assume therefore a stronger importance considered that their characteristics can be preserved with a high detail. The session may include both methodological contributions and case histories of outcrop and subsurface studies in clastic and carbonate depositional systems, as well as multi scenario and/or high resolution reservoir modelling studies.

Siliciclastic-carbonate and other mixed deposits: sedimentology and reservoir properties

Domenico Chiarella - [email protected] (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK); Lorena Moscardelli (Equinor Research and Technology), Marcello Tropeano (University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy)

11.D

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate deposits represent the most common examples of a particular type of sediments that lie between the extrabasinal (terrigenous, epiclastic) and the intrabasinal (mainly carbonate) end-members. In recent years, siliciclastic-carbonate deposits have received increased attention since it has been recognized that they are more common in the geologic record that previously thought. Despite the relative importance of these units, there is no consensus between the carbonate and siliciclastic communities regarding the use of a shared nomenclature and/or comprehensive depositional models. Therefore, the true nature of these deposits and the controlling parameters associated with their evolution are far to be fully understood. Mixed deposits are important in the context of hydrocarbon exploration and production since the siliciclastic and carbonate fractions can affect elements of the petroleum system differently. The aim of this session is to gather contributions focusing on different aspects pertaining to mixed deposits with special interest in case studies that (i) showcase the coexistence of both siliciclastic and carbonate deposition, as well as (ii) link different elements of the depositional profile from shallow to deep-water deposits. Contributions from both academia and industry are sought.

Recent advances in carbonate diagenesis studies: analytical challenges and application to case histories

Marta Gasparrini [email protected](Georesources Department, IFP Energies nouvelles, France); Tatyana Gabellone (SPES - Sedimentology, Petrography and Stratigraphy, Eni S.p.A, Italy); Cédric M. John, (Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London, UK)

Diagenetic processes severely modify initial carbonate sediment properties, in particular mineralogy and crystal size (reactive potential), porosity and permeability (flow properties), and geochemistry (isotope and elemental composition). Understanding the temperature (T), pressure (P) and timing (t) at which these processes occur, as well as the geochemistry of the fluids involved (isotope composition, salinity) is fundamental in building conceptual models aiming at predicting the temporal and spatial occurrence of diagenetic modifications. Constraining the diagenetic processes and their key parameters (T, P, t, fluid composition) by combining conventional petrographic and geochemical approaches often remains a challenge and has inherent limitations. Recent analytical developments that overcome the limits of conventional approaches promise to open new avenues for diagenesis studies, in particular by reducing uncertainties surrounding data interpretation. However, the applicability fields of such techniques in the entire realm of diagenesis is underexplored, and the limits and drawbacks of the new approaches still need further investigation. This session aims to solicit discussion of recent achievements in this field, where the most innovative approaches to reconstruct carbonate diagenesis have been developed or applied alongside with more traditional tools, with possible applications to solve future energy issues (oil & gas, geothermics, CO2 storage) in sedimentary basins.

11.E New frontiers in mudrock sedimentology and stratigraphy

Gabriele Gambacorta - [email protected] (Geology and Geophysics Research and Technological Innovation Dpt., Eni, Italy); Juergen Schieber (Department of Geological Sciences, Indiana University, USA)

Mudrocks represent roughly the 75% of the stratigraphic record. The understanding of the processes that control their deposition and diagenesis is then crucial for the interpretation of Earth history. Beside their importance as stratigraphic and paleoclimatic record, fine-grained sediments are also economically relevant as cap-rocks and source rocks. In recent years, research on mudrocks has revealed the complexity of the physical and chemical processes controlling their sedimentation. The paradigm that mudstones accumulated in low-energy settings via suspension settling have been finally overcome. Thanks to new data, flume experiments and new techniques, insights about depositional styles and processes have emerged. Complex micro- to large-scale processes control mudrocks erosion, transport and deposition, thus impacting on lateral and vertical heterogeneity of fine-grained successions. Variations in the depositional style and early diagenesis of mudrocks exert a major control on sealing efficiency and organic matter dilution and preservation, thus finally affecting their properties as potential cap-rocks and source rocks. The aim of this session is to provide a representative review of the state of the art of mudrocks petrography, sedimentology and stratigraphy. Within this framework, we invite contributions that capture the complexity of physical and chemical depositional processes of fine-grained sediments both from modern environments and past sedimentary records.

Seismic Geomorphology and Seismic Sedimentology: Improvements and Applications

Hongliu Zeng - [email protected](Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin, USA); Xiaomin Zhu (China University of Petroleum, Beijing, China)

Seismic interpretation is traditionally low resolution for sedimentological research. In recent decades, seismic interpretation of high-resolution (meters to tens of meters) subsurface sedimentology has become increasingly in demand. In mature hydrocarbon exploration basins especially, subsurface sedimentologists are more concentrated on thin, small, and stratigraphic targets for infield drilling. During the pursuit of high resolution, seismic geomorphology (Posamentier, 2000, 2001) and seismic sedimentology (Zeng et al., 1998; Schlager, 2000) arose and thrived. The seismic geomorphology and seismic sedimentology are the seismic investigation of sedimentary rocks and depositional processes, which came into being with the mapping of litho-geomorphologic facies by joint study of seismic lithology and seismic geomorphology (Zeng and Hentz, 2004). It focuses on high-resolution seismic imaging and interpretation of subsurface sedimentology (lithology, facies, and referred reservoir quality), analogous to field-based sedimentology and well-based subsurface sedimentology, but more accustomed to reservoir prediction. The researches of seismic geomorphology and seismic sedimentology have been becoming a cutting-edge for fine sedimentology and fruitful achievements have been made in the world. We propose this session for researchers to present and discuss new tools, methods, and challenges, and also showcase the continued success of seismic geomorphology and seismic sedimentology applied to exploration and production of petroleum and other mineral resources.

Description and quantification of sedimentary heterogeneities is fundamental to constraining connectivity of facies and distribution of permeability in geological porous media. This has important implications for establishing approaches to hydrocarbon recovery, underground carbon sequestration, groundwater exploitation and remediation for contaminant dispersal in aquifers. Linkages between depositional environments, sedimentary facies, patterns of diagenesis, and petrophysical properties have been widely described from a range of different settings, demonstrating the value of sedimentology in reservoir characterization. Datasets acquired from outcrop and core logs can provide information on how sedimentary facies stack spatially and aid in development of predictive models for subsurface analogues. Furthermore, petrophysical and hydraulic testing from wells assists in the detection and appraisal of flow effects for different facies configurations, and therefore makes the characterization of productive reservoirs more robust. We invite research presentations on characterization and modelling of sedimentary and petrophysical heterogeneities from both carbonate and siliciclastic deposits. Contributions are invited on specific topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: capturing heterogeneities from outcrops, cores and geophysical imaging; numerical and geostatistical modelling of sedimentary facies and petrophysics; approaches to enhanced oil recovery, CO2 storage and assessment of dynamic connectivity in reservoirs; groundwater flow and contaminant transport.

Methane-rich fluid expulsion processes and their signatures in marine sediments

Daniela Fontana [email protected] (University of Modena, Italy); Rossella Capozzi (University of Bologna, Italy); Jochen Knies (Geological Survey of Norway NGU, and Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate CAGE at UIT Arctic University, Norway); Giuliana Panieri (Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate CAGE at UIT Arctic University of Norway, Norway)

Enormous amount of methane and gas hydrates are found along continental margins worldwide, beneath Arctic permafrost and Antarctica ice. The deep methane-rich fluids tend to migrate upward through diffuse intergranular flow and/or advective flow through structural or stratigraphic permeable pathways, eventually mixing with shallow methane sources, inducing the precipitation of thick authigenic carbonates linked to the anaerobic oxidation of methane. There are still many unsolved questions and fundamental science challenges related to methane carbon flux in the marine environment, gas hydrate reservoir responses to natural and anthropogenic perturbations, as well as their evolution through time. In this session we welcome contributes showing examples and evidences from sedimentology, bio/geochemistry and ecology, that control and/or are affected by methane-rich fluid expulsions and gas hydrate settings. We wish to create synergies between marine and terrestrial sciences, modern day and past observations, for a multifaceted view on methane rich fluid dynamics and their signatures in the sedimentary column.

Deep water depositional systems, new frontiers of sedimentology and oil explorationAdriano R. Viana - Petrobras S.A.

PLENARY LECTURE Tuesday 10th, September, h. 10:00, Aula Magna.

Petroleum exploration is an industrial activity where different kinds of risks are part of the business. Besides political, market and costs risks, and in order to evaluate the potential of a sedimentary basin to become a prolific oil and/or gas province, it is of paramount importance to identify and quantify the geological risks of finding an active petroleum system. Primary guidelines are ensuring high success rate and optimum geohazards assessment. Exploration has moved to deeper waters in the last decades stimulated by new discoveries in frontier areas supported by leading edge technology that yields better reservoir imaging, higher drilling performance in hostile settings and the acquisition of a huge amount of GGG data. A robust interpretation of the depositional systems developed in the deeper portions of the continental margins is hence a fundamental step to characterize the critical elements of a petroleum system with special emphasis on source and reservoirs rocks. The understanding of how deep water depositional systems are formed and evolve through time depends on the sum of many factors. The correct identification of the physical and chemical processes responsible for sediments transport/accumulation/erosion /growth,

the physiographic context of the basin, the circulation pattern of the margin, the availability of sediments, the characteristics and the controls on lateral and vertical sediment distribution are some of the aspects that must be tackled. The remoteness of the deep water settings makes any kind of direct observation of the present day processes and the sedimentary records on this realm dependent on a high cost, complex data acquisition. The petroleum industry provides part of these data, scientific expeditions some other, which must be added to the basic knowledge derived from outcrop studies and physical and numerical simulations. The huge amount and diversity of data that has been accumulated along many years of investigation can only be fully exploited with the help of high-performance computational devices and the use of artificial intelligence technology. The association of modern technology with vintage methods aiming to interpret depositional systems will only be successful if a strong sedimentological background is considered as a pre-requisite for the geoscientists who want to extract knowledge from data.

Emergent Behavior and Emerging Methods in Carbonate Depositional EnvironmentsSam Purkis - University of Miami

PLENARY LECTURE Wednesday 11th September, h. 11:30, Aula Magna.

What is a complex system? A universal characteristic of a complex system is that the whole is greater than, and often significantly different from, the simple linear sum of its parts. In many instances, the whole appears to act in a manner dissociated from the specific characteristics of its individual building blocks. Reef ecosystems are a case in point. No individual reef architect has any sense of the grand enterprise to which it is contributing. But as a collective ecosystem, vast carbonate edifices are constructed with a coherent and intricate morphology (Fig. 1, for instance). This collective outcome, in which a system manifests significantly different characteristics from those resulting from simply adding up all of the constituent parts, is termed ‘emergent behavior’. A special case of emergent behavior is ‘self-organization’, where the constituents of a system agglomerate themselves to form the emergent whole. Although there have been many efforts to evaluate complexity in shallow-water carbonate deposits, studies in this realm have primarily focused on long-term and large-scale processes, such as the provision of accommodation space (e.g. between greenhouse and icehouse climatic regimes) and the facies geometries that these changes yield. However, it is also well recognized that the growth fabrics of which carbonate depositional systems are built, emerge from tightly-integrated systems of abiotic and biotic components. It is recognized too that these components display a myriad of organism-environment feedbacks operating on different length scales. Configured as such, carbonate depositional environments have the potential to generate complex facies anatomies through self-organization. And, as coral reefs illustrate with depressing effectiveness, a small perturbation in one part of a self-organized system can have radical consequences elsewhere. In 1983-1984, for instance, the sea urchin

Diadema antillarum suffered mass mortality throughout the Caribbean. On face value, an inconsequential component of a sprawling reef ecosystem, but the demise of this herbivore contributed to a disastrous phase shift of the region’s reefs from coral to algal-dominated, a configuration which persists today. Such are the non-linear sensitivities of complex ecosystems and the motivation for understanding them.Reef systems exhibit at least two behaviors consistent with self-organization as a structuring force. First, 30% of platform-interior reefs globally exhibit reticular regular patterning, a behavior recognized as far back as the Upper Paleozoic (e.g. Purkis et al., 2005). Second, the patterning of modern and ancient reef systems displays remarkably universal, systematic, and predictable relationships which describe how the shape and separation of depositional elements scale with size (Fig. 1D). Whereas the processes underpinning these remarkable regularities are poorly understood, their existence suggests a common conceptual framework to underly the patterning of both modern and ancient reefs, regardless of their biological architects – surely an excellent hunting ground for comparative sedimentologists.With the production and accumulation of carbonate fabrics intrinsically tied to life, any advance in the understanding of the myriad of organism-environment feedbacks that serve to structure carbonate depositional systems over geological timescales, will also aid in understanding function over shorter ecological timescales. Again, this is particularly true for coral reefs. With compelling evidence that half the world’s reefs have been lost over the last four decades, there is urgent motivation to better understand the nature of the disruptions that are conspiring to devastate this iconic carbonate ecosystem.

The sequence stratigraphy of coastal plain and alluvial deposits: A look into the future using the Quaternary recordAlessandro Amorosi - University of Bologna, Italy

PLENARY LECTURE Friday 13th, September, h. 10:30, Aula Magna.

Over the past two decades, the sequence stratigraphy of Quaternary alluvial, deltaic, and coastal successions has expanded in an exciting direction of research. In recent years, Quaternary geology has become relevant to the oil and gas exploration and shallow subsurface Late Pleistocene to Holocene datasets have been increasingly used at sub-seismic scales for the characterization of reservoir architecture and prediction of petrophysical properties. Recent advances in unconventional reservoir characterization have placed significant attention on mud dispersal, deposition, and diagenesis, emphasizing the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to the facies analysis of mud-prone sediment bodies.Holocene successions worldwide exhibit recurring and predictable motifs in stratigraphic architecture and shoreline trajectory that can be delineated objectively and that reflect the overwhelming dominance of post-glacial eustatic change on sedimentation. Quantitative sediment fluxes data can be extracted reliably from late Quaternary sediment-routing systems, as these systems offer excellent stratigraphic correlation on short-term observational periods. Holocene stratigraphy, in particular, is confidently constrained by numerical dating, and can be seen as a potential bridge between the observable and measurable modern depositional processes and interpretation of stratal architecture in the ancient record.Architectural-stacking patterns of Holocene coastal wedges have been used historically for the interpretation of transgressive-regressive trends from different sedimentary basins around the world. The synchronous initiation of Holocene marine deltas by deceleration of eustatic rise, 8500 to 6500 years ago, is one of the few well-documented examples of worldwide coastal system response to relative sea-level fluctuations, at the turnaround from transgressive to highstand conditions.SEPM Special Publications 41 and 51, from the late 80s and the early 90s, respectively, made the stratigraphic record of Quaternary sea levels and facies models of incised valley systems accessible to the broader sedimentologic (and sequence stratigraphic) community. The recent development of source-to-sink concepts has emphasized the ability to generate numerical and physical models of surface processes and their stratigraphic results using the Quaternary record.The stratigraphic analysis of buried Quaternary strata can have practical limitations compared to exceptionally exposed outcrop cases. In subsurface studies, facies analysis is limited to core-scale sedimentary structures and reconstruction of stratal geometries is made difficult by low data density. Despite these limitations, data extractable from late Quaternary cores offer unique opportunities for high-resolution sequence stratigraphic analysis. Potential advantages of the late Quaternary record over ancient deposits include:precise and accurate techniques for age determination, due to the applicability of multiple geochronometers, such as radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated luminescence, mollusk aminostratigraphy, mollusk U-series, electron spin resonance, and cosmogenic radionuclides; a huge body of knowledge about late Quaternary climate change

and eustatic history that permits the examination of stratigraphic architecture and environmental evolution in response to glacial–interglacial fluctuations and base-level changes; changes in tectonic forcing during the narrow time window of the late Quaternary are at a minimum, and primary stratigraphic relations between adjacent depositional systems are commonly preserved;late Quaternary paleogeography was quite similar to the modern, and comparable sediment-routing systems developed, with only minor changes in depositional regimes and river network under glacial (lowstand) conditions;late Quaternary fossil assemblages closely resemble modern bioassemblages and therefore can serve as a basis for detailed and accurate facies interpretation;Quaternary cores allow accurate characterization of mud-dominated facies, often obscure in outcrop. A comprehensive program of sample analysis (sediment composition and fossil content) in the mud size range provides the information to discriminate subtle changes in environmental conditions and shifts in sediment provenance within seemingly homogeneous facies. Fine-grained deposits can also elucidate sedimentary processes tied to climate change inferred from record of past vegetation cover;late Quaternary sediments did not undergo strong diagenetic modifications and provide the basis to constrain rock properties without confounding weathering effects.Stratal stacking patterns are the core of sequence stratigraphy and terms that imply a relationship between sea level and systems tract should preferentially be avoided when interpreting the ancient record. In this regard, the late Quaternary record plays an important “educational” role, as it is one of the few places where stacking-pattern, systems-tract, and sea-level terminologies meet and can be used almost interchangeably.There is an evident increase in the resolution of stratigraphic studies and the sequence stratigraphy of Quaternary successions is expanding its scope to include applications to a variety of data sets, over a range of time scales. The best insights into the quantification of the finest stratigraphic scales are provided by the high-resolution studies of the Holocene, which have the ability to quantify depositional systems and their changes on 102-103 yrs timescales. The Quaternary record cannot be applied to all climatic conditions (e.g., icehouse versus greenhouse regimes), but a forward-looking research agenda can be developed through the application of Quaternary geology to a wide variety of fields that are virtually unexplored. Areas where our expertise in stratigraphy and sedimentology can gain increasing importance using the Quaternary record include the detection of the effects of short-term tectonism and improving seismic hazard assessment.The Quaternary record is right beneath our feet and represents a resource that could impart profound insight into the interpretation of ancient strata. This talk will highlight the opportunities and challenges in using the well constrained Quaternary stratigraphic record towards a better understanding of stratigraphic architecture.

Pre-meeting short course Sr-isotope stratigraphy (SIS): Methods, applications and limitations

Offered by Gianluca Frijia (University of Ferrara, Italy); 9 September. CONTACT: [email protected].

In the last years the use of 87Sr/86Sr for stratigraphic purposes, as a high-resolution tool of chronostratigraphic dating and correlation of marine sediments, has increased dramatically. The so-called Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy (SIS), relies on the fact that the 87Sr/86Sr value of the ocean varied through geological time and that the composition of the ocean waters is homogeneous with regards to Sr isotopes at any time due to the long residence time of Sr in the oceans. However, despite the high potential of SIS, some possible shortcomings may severely complicate its application (e.g. diagenesis). The objective of the course is to give an introduction to the method and a guideline for the correct use of SIS showing that a rigid procedure is mandatory to apply this chemostratigraphic method correctly. The main applications and limitations will be discussed in detail by means of several examples from around the world where SIS has been applied successfully. The course will consist of by lessons and practical exercises derived from case studies

Intra-Meeting (Thursday) Workshop 1. On the rocks: Looking at cores to discover the secrets of giant reservoirs

Ornella Borromeo and Marco Fonnesu (Eni Upstream & technical Services, Italy); CONTACT [email protected]

Core and core samples, although not routinely collected during oil and gas E&P activities, represent key elements for building sedimentological models in the subsurface, as well as for understanding and characterizing the reservoir systems. Cores are the only data allowing to perform direct analyses of the rocks lying in the subsurface, thus providing information like those that would be collected by studying an outcrop. Sedimentological and petrophysical information are also used to calibrate indirect subsurface data as well-logs and seismic. In the last decades a variety of new approaches, including advanced techniques, have been developed to discover the characteristics of the reservoir from the core. Along the workshop, two unique datasets coming from Eni recent giant discoveries will be presented to demonstrate how they are integrated with well-logs and seismic data:The Mamba/Coral mixed turbidite-contourite clastic system (offshore Mozambique) which processes interaction provides excellent reservoir characteristics in the axial part of deep water channel complexes.The Zohr shelf carbonate system (offshore Egypt) which provides a peculiar subsurface example of Mesozoic circum Mediterranean carbonate platform characterized by high reservoir quality.

Intra-Meeting (Thursday) Workshop 2. Geo archaeology of the Central archaeological area (CAA) of Rome

Marco Mancini, Massimiliano Moscatelli, Francesco Stigliano, Cristina Di Salvo (CNR IGAG - National Research Council, Italy); CONTACT [email protected]

This workshop consists of a fieldtrip to illustrate the evolution of Rome’s historic center from geological to historical times.The excursion is organized in four stops and two main transfers, during which participants will receive information on history and archaeology of the area.Stop 1. The Colosseum and its subsoil. This stop offers the possibility of framing the stratigraphy and paleo-geography of the area through the correlation of the most recent subsoil data. Participants will be offered an archaeological overview of the monument.Stop 2. Stratigraphic and monumental architectures of Palatine.In this stop it will be detailed the buried stratigraphic architecture of Palatine, whose framework is constituted by Pleistocene volcano-sedimentary interfluve units and by the infilled incised valley of the ancient Tiber River. Participants will observe how the anthropic action has deeply modified the southern Palatine and the Murcia valley.Stop 3. Fluvial sediments and tuffs of Roman Forum and Capitoline hill. This stop will allow participants to observe fluvial deposits and tuffs cropping out at the Horrea Agrippiana and Capitoline hill.Stop 4. Drinks and local food!

Intra-Meeting (Thursday) Workshop3. Travertine facies: a Tivoli core-workshop and walk through the Sapienza University Campus

Giovanna Della Porta (University of Milan, Italy), Enrico Capezzuoli (University of Florence, Italy), Alessandro Mancini (University of Perugia, Italy); CONTACT: [email protected]; [email protected]

The core workshop aims at observing the travertine facies characteristics and their vertical superposition in cores drilled in the Pleistocene hydrothermal travertines quarried in the Tivoli area, east of Rome. This well-known travertine deposits, named by the Romans as lapistiburtinus, were used for the construction of important buildings such as the Colosseum (70-80 AD). Since the fundamental studies by Chafetz and Folk (1984), travertines have attracted the interest of the academia and industry as important archives of information about physico-chemical vs. biologically influenced processes of carbonate precipitation in terrestrial conditions, palaeoclimatic and tectonic records and as potential water and hydrocarbon reservoirs.The detailed core analysis will focus on the identification of the different fabric types, their porosity and permeability and interpretation of the depositional environments. This information will be integrated with observation of travertine facies on the Sapienza University building walls with a walk through the University CampusThe workshop is divided in three parts: a) an introduction to travertine facies types, precipitation processes and depositional environments; b) travertine core analysis and facies description; and c) a walk across the University Campus buildings.
