The 36th Annual Conference, organised by the International Association of Sedimentology (IAS), was held in Dubrovnik on June 6-12, 2023, in Croatia. More than 16 teachers and students, including Professor Lin Chengyan, Professor Yang Shaochun and Professor Dong Chunmei, attended the conference and gave academic reports.
Faculty and students went to Europe to attend the 36th IAS Annual Conference.
The conference attracted more than 720 experts and scholars from more than 50 countries, including 19 conference reports, more than 300 sub-topic conference reports, and 260 remaining posters covering cutting-edge technologies and the latest advances in the field of sedimentology, including continental carbonates, karst and cave sediments, shallow marine carbonate sedimentary systems and carbonate terraces, deep-sea carbonate sedimentary systems, carbonate sedimentology, continental clastic sedimentary systems, shallow clastic sedimentary systems, marine clastic sedimentation systems, clastic sedimentology, pyroclastic sediments, evaporated rocks, biochemical processes in sedimentary rocks, tectonics and sedimentology, sedimentology and hydrocarbons, sedimentary research techniques and sedimentology and many more.
Postdoctoral fellow Wang Wen Guang gave an oral report.
PhD student Lin Jianli gave an oral speech.
PhD student Li Fenglei gave an oral speech.
Professor Cathy Hollis, the President of the International Sedimentological Association, engaged in a lively discussion on the study of lacustrine mud shale mineralogy and petrology with a group of participating teachers and students.
Teachers and students at our institute made three oral reports and eight exhibition panels this time, Chapter. Mainly focusing on the new technologies, new methods and new understandings in the field of sedimentary geology of deep and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, the latest technologies and new insights in the area of deep fractured carbonate reservoir formation and oil and gas distribution law, lacustrine shale mineralogy, petrology and reservoir characteristics, clastic rock reservoir diagenesis, fracture development system and genesis mechanism, tight reservoir formation and dessert comprehensive prediction and other aspects were discussed and exchanged, showing the latest research results and progress of our teachers and students in the field of sedimentology. Among them, Wang Wen Guang, a postdoctoral fellow in our institute, gave a speech entitled "Seismic diagenetic facies prediction of tight sandstone in the offshore sparse well area: an example from the Xihu Depression of the East China Sea Basin "The oral report of the paper showed a new method for predicting the spatial distribution of tight sandstone diagenetic facies in the offshore Shaojing area and put forward a typical research case of tight sandstone seismic diagenetic facies prediction. PhD student Fenglei Li gave a speech entitled "Characteristics of differential distribution of fracture-cavity karst reservoir in different carbonate sedimentary environments in Tabei area, Tarim basin" The oral report analyses in detail the distribution characteristics of Ordovician paleosedimentary environment, paleokarst environment and paleovolcano in Tarim Basin, and finely characterizes the differential distribution characteristics of carbonate karst cave-type reservoirs in Tarim Basin under the influence of multiple factors. PhD student Jianli Lin gave an oral report entitled "Fluid activity and diagenetic response during tectonic inversion and its impact on reservoir quality and gas accumulation", focusing on fluids under different degrees of tectonic inversion-Rock interaction and gas reservoir genesis mechanism to provide a reliable basis for the quality evaluation of pre-drilling reservoirs in deep oil and gas drilling in offshore few well areas.
With the support of the school and the national fund project, the teachers and students of our school actively participate in international academic conferences, deeply understand the latest theoretical understanding and research results in the field of sedimentary geology, broaden intellectual horizons, and improve the global academic influence of our school through oral reports and poster presentations, and promote the construction of "double first-class" disciplines in our university.
Founded in 1952, the IAS is an international professional academic organisation for sedimentology that publishes well-known sedimentology journals (Sedimentology, Basin Research). The Depositional Record, etc.), and a series of research results promote international cooperation and exchanges, advocate multidisciplinary cross-integration, and serve to promote global sedimentology research and exchange. The Association holds an annual conference on sedimentology every year and a comprehensive sedimentology conference every four years. The 37th annual Sedimentology Conference will be held in June 2024 in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK, and the 22nd International Sedimentology Congress will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2026.
