Distinguishing Storm and Tsunami Deposits

In conjunction with the SEPM International Sedimentary Geosciences Congress in Flagstaff, AZ, USA (26-29 April 2020), a workshop on distinguishing Storm and Tsunami Deposits will be held on 26 April 2020.

*Update*

In the interest of the health and safety of all concerned and due to the greatly increased restrictions on travel by companies, schools and governments, SEPM is sadly announcing that the ISGC scheduled for 23-26 April 2020 in Flagstaff, AZ, USA, has been cancelled.

SEPM is committed to making this congress happen and plans to reschedule it in the future.
