In April 2015, Ms. Isabelle Moretti, the Chief Geologist of French ENGIE Group (previously known as GDF Suez) was invited to appear on the Frontier Academic Forum of AAPG Student Chapter-CUPB and make a presentation titled "Deformation in the big delta", at the China University of Petroleum-Beijing. The Forum was hosted by Associate Professor Yin Zhijun from College of Geosciences.

 Around the theme of delta’s structural features, Ms. Isabelle introduced three points:

1. Delta’s internal tectonic deformation studies need to be in three dimensions;
2. Delta’s internal structural deformation transformation effect of sand bodies is very important, and the inner and outer zones exhibit different characteristic;
3. Deposition rate and whether there is development of delta foreset deposit also has a significant impact on the final structural form.

 During the lecture, based on what they had learned, teachers and students in attendance actively asked questions and conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with Ms. Isabelle.
