Dear all,

We would like to draw your attention to our session “Intramountain basins – recorders of tectonics, climate, and biota interactions” during upcoming the 36th International Meeting of Sedimentology taking place in Dubrovnik (12.- 16. June 2023).

Session description: Intramountain basins are an integral part of the mountain ranges. Therefore, they are important recorders of deformation, erosion, syntectonic deposition, magmatic events, variations in biodiversity, and local and regional climatic evolution. Therefore, their sedimentary succession provides an insight into links, interactions, and feedback between tectonics, climate, and biota.

This session aims to assemble research efforts focusing on the dynamics and evolution of the intermountain basins at various temporal and spatial scales, and the “inversion” of their sedimentary record to reconstruct climatic, tectonic and/or biotic evolution/interaction. We invite contributions from the broad field of earth sciences based on field observations, and numerical and experimental work. Please, remember the deadline for abstract submissions is 15 February.

The session will be accompanied by the pre-conference (10.-12. of June) field excursion focusing on the intramountain basins of the Dinarides lake systems and the southern Pannonian basin environmental evolution (excursion A3, please see details https://www.iasdubrovnik2023.org/eng-excursions.php). The IAS offers travel grants for IAS student members (please see details https://www.sedimentologists.org/grants).
