Research in Sedimentary Geology: Directions for the 21st Century

9978545年5月，该奖项支持一个题为“沉积地质学研究：21世纪世纪的方向”的研讨会。“研讨会的目标是概述该学科的研究趋势，并强调其社会价值。 讲习班的成果将是一份框架文件，为指导国家在沉积地质学方面的努力提供宝贵的投入，并将广泛提供给该专业。 该研讨会围绕5个主题设计，即：1）人类，地圈和水圈：关键界面; 2）为人类利益的沉积矿床的定量几何学和时间; 3）前寒武纪世界和生命起源; 4）成岩产物和孔隙流体成分的空间变异性; 5）沉积系统的定量三维建模。

9978545MayThis award supports a workshop entitled, "Research in Sedimentary Geology: Directions for the 21st Century." The goal of the workshop is to outline research trends for the discipline, and to highlight their societal value. The product of the workshop will be a framework document that provides valuable input to guiding the national effort in sedimentary geology, and that will be made widely available to the profession. The workshop is designed around 5 themes, which are: 1) humanity, geosphere and hydrosphere: critical interfaces; 2) quantitative geometry and timing of sedimentary deposits for human benefit; 3) Precambrian world and origin of life; 4) spatial variability of diagenetic products and pore-fluid composition and ; 5) quantitative 3-D modeling of sedimentary systems.
