Details about the expanded subjects for this group are discussed in the report.
The meeting group had a discussion about expanding the topics of this group to include sedimentary petrology and petrography. Here is a report on the meeting and an email to the 'usual suspects' will be distributed to get additional feedback on a way forward for this group and sedimentary petrology in general.
