Experimental Morphodynamics and Stratigraphy & Business Meeting
An Experimental Stratigraphy Workshop on November 20th. This workshop will focus on four topics addressed through real-time experiments that all attendees will be able to participate in. These experiments will address:
(1) Minibasin initiation by turbidity current deposition on a mobile substrate;
(2) Development and compartmentalization of deltaic stratigraphy via clinoform migration across a mobile substrate. These two experiments call attention to a new research initiative in the RioMAR Industry Consortium. Mobile substrate used in all experiments is the same polymer pioneered by the Applied Geodynamics Laboratory (BEG, UT-Austin).
(3) Sand transport from a shelf-edge delta to the slope environment. The “successful failure” experiment will highlight the control of riverine sediment composition on the initiation of hyperpycnal flows and resulting slope sedimentation.
(4) Sedimentation characteristics and deposits of high-density turbidity currents.
RioMAR student presentations on a wide range of modern, ancient and experimental sedimentology topics (November 21st). Details of this part of the program will follow.
RioMAR Business Meeting (November 21st) where we discuss work for the second year of RioMAR 5.

2014 Flume Experiments and Meeting
Was hold November 20th-21st, 2014 in Austin, Texas
A number of flume experiments (turbidite, delta) on deformable mobile substrate have been conducted. Also a delta foreset failure experiment and delta clinoforms interfingering experiment have been done.

2013 Field Seminar and Meeting
Was hold between December 1st-6th, 2013 in San Fernando, Trinidad
The focus of the workshop was on shelf and slope Miocene-Pliocene deposits of the Paleo-Orinoco margin. An update of the results for the previous 2 years and proposed research projects for the next 2 years were discussed.
