Monday – Tuesday, October 13th - 14th, 2025
The results of the projects detailed in this prospectus will be presented at the Annual Review Meeting in Miami, October 13th and 14th, 2025. We will send out information on the logistics for the meeting in mid-August.
The fieldtrip from in conjunction with the annual review meeting is to Paradox Basin, Utah will be October 15th– 20th, 2025.
During the 5-day field trip we examine the upper Paleozoic rocks in the Paradox Basin of southeastern Utah that 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 fundamental processes in mixed sedimentation, high-resolution and mechanical stratigraphy.
