Sedimentary basins and their messageJean-Loup Rubino’s jubilee

LYON: 2nd – 6th June, 2020

Themes:- Sequence stratigraphy- Passive margins- Seismic geomorphology- South East France foreland Miocene Basin- Geomorphology and tectonics- Paleozoic platforms- Lacustrine deposit systems within rifts- Tidal deposits- Systems of glacial deposits- Turbidite systems- Lower Cretaceous in South East France- Messinian Salinity Crisis

Sedimentary basins have been gradually reset in the context of plate tectonics and global geodynamics. Their filling up is now considered as being the result of sources, hydrodynamic processes, eustatic variations, deformation, the climate, etc. A field-trip in South East France will show how the analysis of sedimentary basins has been re-visited in varying scales of allocyclic parameter investigation and wavelengths, ranging from lithology to facies, from landscape sequences to stratigraphic assemblages. Jean-Loup Rubino has studied sedimentary basins for 40 years within the framework of oil and gas exploration-production and stratigraphy and sedimentology research projects with Total. Before his retirement, the Association of French Sedimentologists will celebrate his contribution to the understanding of sedimentary basins for five days (two days and half in a colloquium in Lyon followed by a two-day field-trip in the Valréas Basin) all dedicated to the main themes investigated during his career.
