Description
FT01 Aeolian Sedimentary Structures, from wind ripples This 1-day field trips takes participants to two stops that illustrate outstanding examples of aeolian sedimentary structures, from the smallest fine structures (wind ripples, grainfall, and grainflow stratification) to larger assemblages of compound cross-bedding deposited by small dunes migrating over larger dunes. The outcrops also contain less common structures including cyclic cross-bedding produced by seasonally reversing winds, replaced evaporites, small dinosaur burrows, deformational structures, and fluid-escape structures. Time 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spots available 0 8:00 AM
SC02 Carbonate Depositional Systems Carbonate reservoir rocks host hydrocarbons and mineral deposits as well as being a potential sink for carbon capture. However, understanding and predicting lateral and vertical variability of carbonates are challenging. This course is designed to inform your ability to make those predictions. This full-day short course reviews the basics of carbonate sedimentology and stratigraphy, including sediment components, depositional environments, stratigraphic successions, and seismic architectures. At this pivotal time of energy transition, attendees will gain an appreciation for the potential of carbonates not just as reservoirs, but as important records of earth history.

Description
SC03 Numerical Stratigraphic Forward Modelling Sedimentary geology has historically been dominated by conceptual qualitative models to explain and predict depositional systems and the strata they accumulate. More recently analogue and numerical forward models have been developed and are increasingly used to progress understanding and predictive power. This workshop will give a practical introduction to the theory and practice of numerical stratigraphic forward modelling and how this kind of modelling can help us better understand sedimentary systems. The course will be given in an NAU computer classroom with access to programs. Time 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spots available 12 8:00 AM

Description
FT04 Algal Mounds and Fractures in Upper Palezoic Upper Paleozoic rocks in the Paradox Basin of southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah are the result of cyclic deposition of mixed carbonates, siliciclastics and evaporites. Deeply incised canyons along the San Juan River provide spectacular exposures of rocks. We will utilize these outcrops to examine the cyclic nature of Pennsylvanian strata and the vertical and lateral facies variations. We will observe the dimensions and heterogeneities of an exhumed algal mound field and relate it to subsurface data. The goals of the field trip are to illustrate some fundamental processes in mixed sedimentation, high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and mechanical stratigraphy. This trip includes landside and river trip outcrops. When 5/9/2024 8:00 AM - 5/12/2024 5:00 PM Spots available 0 8:00 AM
