Paleonet: Session "“Stratigraphic controls on the geochemical and fossil record” at the 34th IAS - Rome

[Silvia Danise]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention on the session “Stratigraphic controls
on the geochemical and fossil record” that Emilia Jarochowska, Rute Coimbra
and I are organizing at the 34th IAS Meeting of Sedimentology that will be
held from the 10th to the 13th of September in Rome, Italy.

Abstract submission closes on the 30th of March.

Below the description of the session and info on how to register for the
meeting.



Kind regards,



Silvia Danise

*Stratigraphic controls on the geochemical and fossil record*

The intrinsically complex nature of sedimentary dynamics, both in time and
space, exert a fundamental control on the abundance, variety and quality of
information engraved in deep-time geological records. Integration of basin
analysis and sequence stratigraphy with such areas as palaeobiology,
biostratigraphy and geochemistry provides a powerful, interdisciplinary
approach to reconstruct past environmental scenarios and biodiversity
dynamics. As pointed out by the new discipline of stratigraphic
palaeobiology, patterns observed in the fossil record can largely be
predicted based on the stratigraphic architecture, e.g. the distribution of
hiatuses and condensation surfaces. Stratigraphic palaeobiology also offers
analytical tools allowing to account for these controls and the same tools
can be equally applied to geochemical data. In fact, subaerial exposure,
phases of non‐deposition, erosion, reworking and bypass of sediments
strongly impact also the geochemical record and cannot be overlooked. In
this session, we aim at bringing together sedimentologists,
palaeobiologists and geochemists to demonstrate how sequence stratigraphy
can be employed as a common information framework in all these fields, and
foster collaborations towards a better understanding of the links between
past biotic and palaeoenvironmental changes.
