Contributions are sought on the numerical, experimental, and field approaches to identifying, quantifying, modeling, and predicting autogenic dynamics and self-organized patterning through time, at the scale of pores to basin, and in a wide range of physical and biological sedimentary systems. An interdisciplinary program is intended with participation by sedimentologists, stratigraphers, experimentalists, geomorphologists, paleobiologists, ecologists, sedimentary petrologists, and geochemists.
Reduced registration and travel assistance awards will be available for graduate students
Program Themes:
- Identification & quantification of autogenic & self-organizing patterns in sedimentary systems.
- Driving mechanisms of autogenic dynamics.
- Self-organization in biological sedimentary systems.
- Relationship between autogenic and allogenic dynamics.
- Understanding autogenic processes to improve prediction and interpretation in sedimentary systems.
Invited speakers:
- Chris Paola – University of Minnesota,Autogenic dynamics - from experiments to field scales
- Johan van de Koppel - Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Spatial patterns in ecosystems
- Peter Burgess - Royal Holloway University, Self-organization & autocyclicity in carbonates
- Laurel Larsen – University of California, Berkeley - Coupled ecosystem-landscape dynamics
- Enrique Merino – University of Indiana, Geochemical self-organization in diagenesis
- Marty Perlmutter – Chevron, Lacunarity analysis of morphology and process
