EVENT CLOSED
The International Association of Sedimentology (IAS) and the Ibn Battuta Centre (Marrakech), in collaboration with the Université Cadi Ayyad, Faculté de Sciences Semlalia (Marrakech), the Université Mohammed Premier, Faculté Pluridisciplinaire (Nador, Morocco) and the International Research School of Planetary Sciences - Università d'Annunzio (Pescara, Italy) cordially invite you to Marrakech, Morocco, for the 32nd IAS meeting of Sedimentology.
This meeting is part of a long-lasting series of successful annual meetings that started in Bochum (Germany) in 1980. Since the beginning, these meetings gathered together a considerable number of people ranging from young Ph.D. students to well experienced scientists. They have covered a wide spectrum of sedimentological disciplines keeping the pace with the development and evolution of the investigation of sediments and sedimentary rocks.
The meeting in Marrakech will try to keep this tradition by attracting both senior and junior scientists and creating a lively environment.
Scientific Program
The meeting is aimed to cover the entire spectrum of subjects in sedimentology and sedimentary geology. Facies and sedimentary environment, transport and sedimentation, carbonates, chemical and biochemical deposits, diagenesis, sequence stratigraphy, external and internal geometries of sedimentary bodies, oil exploration concepts and models, and the entire range of subjects will be considered.
Some frontier arguments will be discussed as well, such as geomicrobiology and sediments, planetary sedimentary geology, outcrop and 3D imaging. The oral presentations and posters will be accommodated in Meeting Sessions and Special Sessions. Find out more on the Conference website.
Further details
There will be short courses, field trips and a social programme during the event. Find out more on the Conference website.
