Clastic Depositional Systems: A Source-to-Sink Perspective
This week, I managed to get on a nice two day course in Melbourne, VIC:PESA VIC/Tas Branch Short Course -
Clastic Depositional Systems: A Source-to-Sink Perspective
Tuesday, August 4 & 5
Conducted by Mike Blum, of Kansas Uni. Kansas, USA.Twelve people attended this very interesting course, lively questions from the more academic side. The food was adequete, the coffee was a little boring.Mike has had a varied professional life between academia and industry, and presented the course in a interesting manner, the material was good, but a few more attributes to track down material used easily would have been a little more helpful.The material presented was given out on a little USB card- a great idea. There many pictures of Utah geology examples, and the videos presented were pretty good.I enjoyed and appreciated the vourse, as did the other attendees. It gave me new insights into seismic interpretations of both fluvial and marine deposits- rivers, fans and deltas will never look the same again from an aeroplane window!. Sedimentology and geography, or GEOMORPHOLGY combined. Highly recommended.
