13.4 - From river catchments to the deep sea: case studies, applications, state of the art and new frontiers of source-to-sink research

The linkage between onshore to offshore segments, from river catchments to the deep oceans via coastal plains and shelves, is fundamental to unravel the complexity of Sediment Routing Systems (SRSs). Through basin analysis, landscape evolution and multiscale stratigraphic reconstructions, source-to-sink studies aim to quantify sediment generation, transfer, storage, and redistribution on a variety of timescales. The impact of several factors, including human activities and climate changes, can also be assessed by the study of SRSs.
  This session aims to discuss the state of the art in source-to-sink analysis in siliciclastic and mixed siliciclastic-carbonate realms on a variety of time scales (from the ancient geological record to the Anthropocene), with a focus on future developments and their potential applications within the context of past, present, and future climate change. We invite presentations from stratigraphers and sedimentary geologists, experimentalists, and numerical modelers that contribute to the advancement of our understanding of SRSs, both in modern and ancient depositional settings.

  We particularly welcome comprehensive and interdisciplinary approaches that point to novel concepts of generic significance that enhance the holistic comprehension of: (i) assessment of sediment provenance through compositional characterization of sediments; (ii) dispersal pathways for organic and inorganic detritus; (iii) calculation of sediment volumes delivered to a basin; (iv) sediment-budget calculations reconstructed though geomorphological analyses; (v) processes and mechanisms of sediment production, routing and accumulation; (vi) evolution of sedimentary basins in response to changes in sediment supply and accommodation; (vii) applications to natural resource exploration and exploitation, landscape management, and the social and/or economic impact of source-to-sink investigations.
