Location:
Dates:
-
Sunday,
July 21, to Friday, July 26, 2002
Purpose:
The purpose
of this research conference will be to provide a framework for exchange
and advance of ideas and interpretations and lead to a better assessment
of the Late Paleozoic hydrocarbon systems in the region.
Format:
The conference
will be held in an informal setting with a maximum of 80-100 attendees.
The format will be a 5-day meeting in which the sessions will consist
of both oral presentations and posters, organized by themes that
represent significant areas of uncertainty in the regional interpretations.
There will also be one or two field trips included as part of the
meeting.
Topics:
Key
topics to be discussed include:
- Structural
geometry and structural relief
- Types,
timing, displacement and patterns of faults
- Folds
and hydrocarbon trap geometry
- Sedimentation
and stratigraphic- and basin-architecture
- Facies,
thickness and lithologic patterns
- Subsidence
and uplift histories and modeling
- Provenance
and diagenesis
- Timing
and rates of tectonic processes
- Biostratigraphy,
geochronology, and the Late Paleozoic geologic time scale for
western North America
- Hydrocarbon
systems and paleoclimates
- Source
rocks, timing of maturation and migration pathways
- Risk
factors and uncertainty of interpretations
- Types
of fields and case studies
- Paleoclimate
indicators and patterns
- Regional
syntheses and plate tectonic model
