Four GGE members recently attended the 50th British Sedimentology Research Group's Annual General Meeting at the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College London. 

Relatable topics to the students' research included

  • fluvial and aeolian architecture
  • sediment routing systems
  • hydrocarbon reservoir systems
  • tectonic controls on stratigraphic architecture

Rosie Smithells, Andrew Bladon, Amy Gough and Oliver Wakefield all attended, with Amy giving a poster presentation entitled '3D architectureand internal facies variation of large-scale alluvial fan deposits and their correlation to the interpretation of the Brockram Facies, UK' as part of the 'Styles and controls on fluvial and aeolian stratigraphic architecture' session.

Rosie attended the conference fieldtrip to the Weald Basin (Surrey and Sussex), to examine tidally influenced shallow marine sedimentation of the Folkestone Sands Formation. In addition to this, Andy attended a seismic interpretation workshop, which focused on vital skills for petroleum exploration.
