SEPM Coast and Shelf Research Group

What is this group all about?



Coast and Shelf Research Group (CSRG)

The Coast and Shelf Research Group focuses on the sedimentary processes and products of modern and ancient coastal to shelfal environments developing on Earth and other planetary bodies, including ocean, sea, and lake nearshore areas. This group aims to bring together the community of sedimentologists with a focus on coastal, shallow-marine and shelfal environments, as well as to promote exchanges and collaborations with other experts (e.g., engineers, archeologists) focusing on similar depositional environments.  The CSRG welcomes anyone who is interested in field-, lab- and/or computer-based sedimentology, geomorphology, geobiology, coastal and infrastructure management, paleoclimate, paleoceanography and related topics focusing on coast to shelf settings.


Are you interested in participating in CSRG events, or are you keen on co-chairing/assisting with the organization of workshops or courses?





Why join this group?
  • Networking opportunities within the Coast and Shelf Sedimentology and wider Sedimentary Geology and Geomorphology communities.
  • Opportunities to meet with researchers in-person at annual meetings/key conferences, and virtually at online seminars/discussions.
  • Specialized email lists with targeted information about upcoming events, funding and job opportunities, resources, and more.
  • LinkedIn Group to facilitate discussions, data, and resource sharing.
  • Access to the SEPM membership benefits and community.




Event Calendar


 Sign up online here for December 16th online meeting!

The online event will feature an online meeting designed to encourage active discussion among participants. It will begin with a keynote speaker who will provide a brief overview of the state-of-the-art on 'Arid coastal and shelf environments', highlighting key knowledge gaps. Following this, the floor will be open for a dynamic discussion. We hope that this meeting could be the start of a longer-term collaborative work between the members of the community aiming at filling this gap-of-knowledge.
