Abstract InformationSedimentary geology insight is critical for developing transitional and renewable energy sources. Because of its long history supporting fossil fuel exploration, the field of sedimentary geology is well-positioned to meet the needs of finding and managing subsurface resources, including critical mineral and gas resources, geothermal energy, and carbon capture and storage. This small, focused research conference will have a highly interactive format, with opportunities for discussion and a mid-conference field trip. The aims of this research conference are to: 1) explore how sedimentary geology underpins cutting-edge research, exploration, and decision-making in energy-resource development, 2) establish new networks of sedimentary geologists working in energy-transition fields, and 3) build new recommendations for undergraduate and graduate teaching to help prepare sedimentary geologists for the energy transition. Submit a technical abstract and/or mini-poster idea! Abstracts are due by December 20, 2024 You are welcome to contribute one or both types of presentation. Technical abstracts will be presented as either a short (15-minute) talk or as a standard (3’ x 5’) scientific poster. Mini-posters will be smaller posters where participants can share key figures or ideas to facilitate discussion and feedback on preliminary datasets or concepts/ideas that are not fully developed. We especially encourage participants who are new to energy-transitions research to contribute a mini-poster to help jumpstart their engagement and connect with others! Please use the abstract form below. Abstracts must be submitted to Michele Tomlinson at mtomlinson@sepm.org as Word documents. Mini-poster - simply submit your Name, Email, Affiliation, Status (student/early career/professional),and title/topic/dataset for discussion to Michele Tomlinson mtomlinson@sepm.org Standard oral or large format poster abstract form link EnergyTransitions-AbstractForm.docx |
