Notes
- Abstract:
- This Special Issue of Basin Research focuses on the longterm
record of sea-level change from the Jurassic to the
Miocene.The papers arose froma multidisciplinary international
symposium SEALAIX’06: Sea Level Changes:
Records, Processes and Modeling held in Presqu’Ile de Giens,
France from 25 to 29 September 2006 and convened by
Gilbert Camoin, Andre¤ Droxler, Craig Fulthorpe and
Ken Miller.The symposium was sponsored by the International
Association of Sedimentologists (IAS), the
Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), TOTAL, the
Centre National de la Recherche Scienti¢que (CNRS),
the Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur Region, and the French
Association of Sedimentologists (Association des Se¤dimentologistes
Francais, ASF). All sponsors are gratefully
acknowledged.
Scientific themes of SEALAIX’06 included the records,
sedimentary processes, andmodeling of sea-level changes
in carbonate, siliciclastic and mixed margins and deep
sea settings. The symposium was structured around:
(1) Quaternary sea-level changes, (2) icehouse Earth sealevel
changes (last 33Ma), (3) greenhouse Earth sea-level
changes (250^33Ma) and (4) Paleozoic sea-level changes.
SEALAIX’06 was attended by 160 participants from 21
countries (including 17 funded students and young scientists).
Participants represented diverse specialities and
research interests, including sedimentology, geochemistry,
geophysics, modeling, geodynamics, geomorphology,
paleoceanography and biology. Five keynote presentations,
45 short talks and 75 posters were presented.
Workshop sessions were held on: (1) current knowledge,
(2) future issues, (3) controversies regarding sea-level
records, processes, and modeling, and (4) strategies to
address sea-level changes within international Earth
Sciences programs (e.g., IODP, IMAGES, PAGES,MARGINS).
Abstracts were assembled in a Special Publication
of the Association of French Sedimentologists (Camoin,
Droxler, Fulthorpe and Miller, Eds, 2006. Sea-level
records, processes and modeling, A.S.F. Spec. Publ.). ( English )
