Join your trip experts, Dr. John Warren and Dr. Ian Dyson, on this 12 day field workshop and experience first hand the diversity and economic significance of saline systems and sequence analysis in Australia’s evaporite geosystems (modern and ancient).
This 12-day combined field and lecture course captures the diversity and geological importance of textures in saline depositional systems across the world famous regions of the Coorong, Marion Lake, Lake Eyre, and the Flinders Ranges, as well as core-based study of facies textures, distribution and architecture. This field workshops is suitable for 10-15 participants.
Always, we can design a corporate trip through these world-famous sites to give additional emphasis to geological topics and features of most interest to your team.
Lake Eyre - Kati Thandi
Evaporite textures in a depositional and diagenetic framework
Brine hydrology and geochemistry as drivers of diagenesis
Ancient evaporites - why only partial Quaternary analogs?
Halotectonics, welds and poroperm prediction
Halotectonics, welds and poroperm prediction
Some company clients prefer a more hands-on approach, and we can design a field workshop for you with this in mind.
With a little planning, a client field workshop can integrate examples of the company's wireline and core data to construct a number of half-day workshop sessions within the fieldcourse that can be devoted to the use and interpretation of such company supplied material. All such material provided will be "commercial-in-confidence" and only used by SaltWorks on a contracted "as-agreed" basis.
Ancient halotectonic geosystems of the Flinders Ranges (outcropping diapir controls and sediment geometries)
Modern lacustrine Coorong carbonates (sub-salt reservoir analog)
Dolomitic Pellet Lake, lookihg toward Southern Ocean, Salt Creek, Coorong region
