Sediment Systems

Sedimentary systems within rifted volcanic margin settings are important hydrocarbon reservoirs. Research into these clastic systems includes the 3D architecture of clastic bodies; interactions between volcanism, tectonism and sediment generation and storage; stratigraphy, palaeoecology and facies analysis of clastic systems within the Palaeogene lava fields on the North Atlantic Igneous Province; provenance studies;
