Caicos Platform, located at the southeast end of the Bahamian Archipelago, is an ideal setting for studying modern carbonate sedimentary processes. It is also widely used as an analogue for ancient carbonate systems in general and large, isolated, ancient platforms in particular, including hydrocarbon-bearing platforms in the North Caspian basin and southeast Asia. Studies of Holocene and Pleistocene sediments of the Platform began in earnest in the 1980s and have been ongoing since.

The purpose of this workshop is to share information among workers from academia and industry who are studying depositional systems of the Caicos Platform, as well as provide an educational opportunity for geoscientists interested in Holocene and Pleistocene carbonates and their use as analogs for understanding ancient carbonate platforms and their reservoir potential.

Presentations will include introductory oral overviews of Holocene depositional systems on the Platform to provide a regional understanding and context, but most presentations will be in poster format to facilitate discussion among participants. Poster presentations will incorporate cores and seismic profiles that illustrate the sedimentology, depositional facies and diagenesis of both Holocene sediments and Pleistocene rocks.

There are a limited number of sponsored registrations available for students on a first-come basis. If you wish to register for one of the sponsored spots, please register online at www.aapg.org/sanantonio/registration.cfm. If sponsored space is no longer available, you can register at the full fee and/or you can place your name on the waiting list for a sponsored space in the short course.

Important Notes Regarding Short Courses

Short course enrollment is limited.
Short courses are reserved on a first-come basis and registration must be accompanied by full payment.
If you register for a short course only, a $30 non-registrant fee will be added to the short course fee. This fee may be applied toward registration if you decide to attend the convention.
A wait list is automatically created if a short course sells out. The AAPG Convention Department will notify you if space becomes available.
If any of these short courses meet your needs or the needs of your professional staff, you are strongly encouraged to register early. To help us better anticipate the number of attendees and avoid premature cancellation of short courses, please register well before March 20, 2008.
Participants will receive notification of the specific location of their course.
Courses may be cancelled if undersubscribed; please keep this in mind when purchasing non-refundable airfares. pre-convention courses
