AAPG Europe University of Manchester Student Chapter presents AAPG Visiting Geoscientists Online Talks.
We are delighted to launch the “AAPG Visiting Geoscientists Online Talks” run by the University of Manchester Student Chapter – now open to all Student chapters around Europe and further afield. The talks are varied and cover everything from Mapping river bar deposits to CO2 risk in the exploration.
Join us for our premier talk presented by Professor Elizabeth Hajek.
Mapping River Bar Deposits to Reconstruct Paleo-Channel Dynamics in Alluvial Basins
Reconstructing ancient river dynamics provides important insight into how landscapes self-organize over long timescales and respond to climate and land-cover changes. This information can also help predict the quality and connectivity of subsurface fluvial reservoirs. We are exploring new approaches to mapping river bar deposits that are aimed to help improve reconstructions of river bar kinematics, and the relative rates of channel avulsion and channel migration in ancient systems.
Join us as Professor Elizabeth Hajek as she discusses new approaches to mapping river bar deposits.
Webinar will be presented via Zoom on Thursday 22 October, 17:00 London - 5pm Houston (GMT-6) time.
