Their development is highly sensitive to changes in climate, ocean chemistry, sea level, nutrient and siliciclastic input, and basin physiography. Understanding how these parameters influence carbonate production, margin architecture, and platform stability is critical for interpreting past environmental change, predicting stratigraphic architectures, and assessing implications for resource potential and geohazards.<\/p>\n This session spans modern and ancient systems, tropical and temperate settings, integrating data from outcrops, cores, seismic interpretation, numerical and physical modelling, and novel analytical approaches. Together, presentations highlight the complexity of carbonate depositional systems and the importance of multi-disciplinary approaches in unravelling their history from platform to basin floor.”<\/p>\n Dr Barbara Claussmann1,2<\/sup>, Mr Peter Burgess3<\/sup>, Mr Mosfta Lejri4<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>SLB, Oxford, United Kingdom, 2<\/sup>U2R 7511, Basins-Reservoirs-Resources (B2R), Beauvais, France, 3<\/sup>University of Liverpool, United Kingdom, 4<\/sup>SLB, Oslo, Norway<\/em><\/p>\n In the past 30 years, forward stratigraphic modelling (FSM), the numerical simulation of stratigraphic processes constrained by the laws of physics, has become an increasingly popular tool for better understanding and predicting the Earth subsurface.<\/p>\n Contrary to traditional approaches and methods (e.g., geostatistical modelling), FSM does not only rely on geometrically constrained interpolation and \/ or analogue pattern reproduction. Instead, it is based on numerical formulations of mathematical equations that reproduce the physical and geological processes existing in nature. As such, FSM encodes key process-derived trends and uses them to create physically and geologically constrained digital models of the subsurface that can represent a useful approximation to reality.<\/p>\n While no model can perfectly represent reality, FSM models do provide valuable insights and practical benefits to the Geoscience communities, academies and industries (e.g., Geohazards, New Energy, Oil & Gas…) by (1) challenging geological concepts, (2) informing on the expected sedimentary and stratigraphic architectures and associated lithology distributions, (3) generating insights into the composition, properties and processes of the sedimentary sequences and \/ or as (4) offering new clues to unravel the geological history of sedimentary basins through time and space.<\/p>\n This session welcomes any oral or poster contributions highlighting how use of FSM contributed to a useful prediction or significant advance in geological understanding of modern or ancient sedimentary systems in your study area or basin of interest.<\/p>\n Dr Romain Vaucher1<\/sup>, Dr Andrew La Croix2<\/sup>, Dr Shahin Dashtgard3<\/sup>, Dr Li Lo4<\/sup>, Dr Ludvig L\u00f6wemark4<\/sup>, Dr Christian Zeeden5<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>College of Science and Engineering, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, 2<\/sup>Sedimentary Environments and Analogues Research Group, School of Science, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand, 3<\/sup>Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, 4<\/sup>Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei City, Taiwan (R.O.C.), 5<\/sup>Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG), Geozentrum Hannover, Germany<\/em><\/p>\n The shallow-marine realm (i.e., shoreline to shelf) is directly affected by climatic fluctuations and sea level changes on glacial-interglacial time scales at any latitude. Amongst all environments on Earth, the shallow marine realm can be profoundly affected by changes in climate. Understanding how climate and environment have changed in the past can be deciphered by analysing the sedimentary record.<\/p>\n In this session, we invite contributions focused on reconstructing Earth’s past climate and environmental conditions using shallow-marine strata. Presentations may include, but are not limited to, outcrop, borehole, laboratory, and modeling studies dealing with clastic, carbonate, and\/or mixed clastic-carbonate systems. We particularly encourage early-career scientists to deliver oral presentations. This session is organized under the umbrella of the PRISMS (Paleoclimate Records in Shallow Marine Strata) Group (https:\/\/www.prisms-climate.com\/).<\/p>\n Greer Gilmer1<\/sup>, Ellen Unland2<\/sup>, Chris Moy2<\/sup>, Sebastian Bertrand3<\/sup>, Craig Smeaton4<\/sup>, Matthias Forwick5<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>GNS Science, Dunedin, New Zealand, 2<\/sup>University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, 3<\/sup>Ghent University, Belgium, 4<\/sup>University of St Andrews, Scotland, 5<\/sup>The Arctic University of Norway, Norway<\/em><\/p>\n The unique morphology of fjord basins enables them to act as natural sediment traps, preserving detailed records of environmental, climatic, and tectonic changes. High sediment accumulation rates make fjords ideal for developing high-resolution archives of past climate and environmental change, offering insights into large-scale climate mechanisms and their potential future trajectories.\u00a0 Advancing these globally important records requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates geophysical investigations of fjord environments, physical and geochemical analysis of sediments, and characterisation of fjord processes.<\/p>\n This session seeks to bring together researchers from across disciplines working on modern and ancient glaciated and non-glaciated fjords in both hemispheres. We welcome submissions from a wide range of fjord topics including, but not limited to, geophysics, organic carbon burial, oceanographic circulation, and paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstructions, including geohazards and glacier variability.<\/p>\n By synthesizing diverse approaches, this session aims to advance our understanding of fjord systems as critical archives of Earth’s past and predictions of its future.<\/p>\n Dr Valentin Zuchuat1<\/sup>, Dr Jarred Lloyd2<\/sup>, Dr Suzanne Bull3<\/sup>, Dr Bj\u00f6rn Nyberg4<\/sup>, Dr Sara Polanco5<\/sup>, Prof. Anne Bernhardt6<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>CSIRO, Kensington, Australia, 2<\/sup>University of Adelaide, Australia, 3<\/sup>GNS Science, Te P\u016b Ao, Avalon, New Zealand, 4<\/sup>University of Bergen, Norway, 5<\/sup>University of Sydney, Australia, 6<\/sup>Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin, Germany<\/em><\/p>\n Most scientists are either familiar with, or have heard of “Open Science”, which has the potential of increasing the transparency, inclusivity, and democratisation of scientific processes. The guiding principles of the UNESCO Open Science recommendation aim to increase equality of opportunity, transparency and reproducibility, collaboration and inclusion, flexibility, and sustainability. There are four key pillars in the UNESCO recommendation that enable Open Science: open scientific knowledge, open science infrastructures, open dialogue with other knowledge systems, and open engagement of societal actors. Overall, Open Science aims at making Science more ethical, transparent, and freely available to everyone including fellow scientists, policy makers, and private citizens. The last decades have seen major development in Open Source Software, Preregistration, Registered Reports, Open Access and Preprints, Open Evaluation, Team Science, as well as Open Data, Protocols, Materials, and Code, as listed by the Center for Open Science. This movement has also positively impacted the world of sedimentology. <\/p>\n This session aligns itself with the discussion on Open Access scheduled at this congress, in a global context of funding agencies requesting publicly funded research to be freely accessible. We welcome all types of contributions that promote, develop, and use Open Science principles applied to sedimentology both as a research, teaching, or communication tool. We also encourage submissions on sustainable and participatory community-driven initiatives supporting Education, Diversity, Inclusion, transparency, ethics, and openness in sedimentary research. This session aims at fostering the broad dissemination of scientific knowledge related to the Earth System, including negative results, success stories, best practices, and solutions that help make Science more accessible and transparent. Early Career Scientists are warmly welcome to showcase their work. We encourage them to apply for oral or poster presentations. We encourage all presenters to make their material available to the general public via channels available to them.<\/p>\n Dr Catherine Chagu\u00e91<\/sup>, Prof Massimo Moretti2<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>UNSW Sydney, Australia, 2<\/sup>University of Bari Aldo Moro, Italy<\/em><\/p>\n We invite researchers to present new findings about the sedimentary fingerprints, both on land and offshore, of past and present geohazards, including amongst others, storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, and landslides.

We aim to bring together researchers working on modern to ancient sedimentary systems influenced by glacial, glacio-marine, and deep-water depositional processes. Topics may include:<\/p>\n This session will also highlight the influence of seismicity and eustatic changes on sedimentary deposits, as well as the role of paleoecology in reconstructing past environments in polar regions.

Investigating the sedimentological imprint of past earthquakes is therefore necessary to obtain longer records spanning multiple seismic cycles that allow the better prediction of future hazard. Marine, coastal and lacustrine environments have been proven to serve as sensitive, natural archives of earthquake-induced event deposits through preservation of turbidites, landslides, and tsunami deposits. In the last decade, there have been tremendous advancements in the way sedimentary signatures of event deposits are identified (e.g. \u00b5XRF, \u00b5CT, hyperspectral scanning, high-resolution geophysical surveys), dated (radionuclides, radiocarbon, Bayesian age-depth modelling), and correlated spatially and temporally to infer earthquake size, location and recurrence. We welcome submissions related to the development and application of state-of-the-art methodologies in onshore and offshore paleoseismology that can be used to advance the understanding of earthquake cycles and therefore hazard at active plate boundaries. In particular, we encourage submissions from work that aims to i) integrate land-to-sea records, ii) test along-strike synchronicity, iii) distinguish upper-plate and megathrust earthquakes, iv) apply paleoseismic results to constrain ground motion models, and v) align paleorecords with modern geophysical observations and vice versa.<\/p>\n Dr Joanna Pszonka1<\/sup>, Dr Chelsea Pederson2<\/sup>, Dr Stephen Lokier3<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n 1<\/sup>Colorado School of Mines, Golden, United States, 2<\/sup>University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, United States, 3<\/sup>University of Derby, United Kingdom<\/em><\/p>\n The Student Research Forum aims to promote networking and foster mentorship opportunities within the sedimentology community. Students will showcase their ongoing research as works-in-progress, engaging in discussions with faculty, mentors, and peers to gain valuable insights and constructive feedback.

Varved and high-resolution lake sediment records provide suitable records of short-term extreme events (e.g., floods, storms, earthquakes), seasonal to multi-annual extremes (e.g., dry periods, cold winters, heat waves) and abrupt climate changes.<\/p>\n This session appeals to a multidisciplinary audience of sedimentologists, paleolimnologists, and limnogeologists studying varves and high temporal resolution records at all time scales and from all environments. We welcome reconstructions related to climatic conditions, runoff, flooding, catchment erosion, sediment transfer, solar forcing, as well as other suitable topics like environmental monitoring. Moreover, this session invites reports about latest developments in the interpretation of varved records, as well as improvements of geochronological methods and documentation of new analytical techniques.
