SUMMARY:BDG Rock of the Year Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Rock of the Year initiative is organised each year by EFG’s German national association\, the Berufsverband Deutscher Geowissenschaftler e.V. (BDG). The 2026 celebration will take place on 20 September 2026 at 10:00 at the National Geotope “Porphyrfächer” in Mohorn-Grund\, Wilsdruff\, Germany. This year\, Rhyolite has been selected as Germany’s Rock of the Year. \nThe event is organised in cooperation with GEOPARK Sachsens Mitte e.V.\, which is hosting this year’s ceremonial “rock christening”\, together with the Day of the Geotope celebrations at the historic rhyolite quarry. Since 2007\, a committee led by the Berufsverband Deutscher Geowissenschaftler e.V.

SUMMARY:What Makes a Geoscience Model Useful?
DESCRIPTION:Modelling is ubiquitous in geoscience\, from conceptual models used to summarise qualitative outcrop interpretations\, to experimental analogue models and complex numerical process models used to advance our understanding fundamental processes. Geoscience models of all types are widely used for prediction across all areas of geoscience\, for example in natural hazard prediction\, in subsurface prediction in the exploration\, appraisal and production of natural resources\, and increasingly in sequestration and energy storage.  In all cases\, the question applies: what makes a geoscience model useful? Answering this question is important because it requires that we fully understand and optimise the modelling process to best develop and encapsulate robust understanding and therefore make the best possible predictions. \nAims of Meeting \nThe meeting aims to use oral\, poster and keynote presentations combined with discussion and debate sessions to progress answers to the following questions: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes a geoscience model useful?\nHow should conceptual\, analogue and numerical models be used and integrated in geoscience?\nHow much do conceptual models inform\, influence or limit data collection and interpretation?\nDo digital outcrop models have significant untapped potential\, for example to improve existing conceptual models?\nWhat does it mean for a model to be predictive?\nHow do you find the simplest model or models able to answer the question being asked?\nAre simple process models as useful as complex process models?\nDo we need metrics for model complexity?\nWhat new process models remain to be developed\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPotential outputs of the conference include a white paper on best practice in geoscience modelling. This could perhaps form an excellent starting point for a GSL Special Publication presenting papers building on the themes presented during the conference \nWho is this conference aimed at? \nThis conference will be useful to any geoscientist who uses models\, from conceptual and digital outcrop models\, to models that integrate multiple forms of data\, to full-physics analogue and numerical process models. It will be useful if you want to better understand where the boundary between models and data lies\, how best to develop and/or apply models for robust prediction\, and how further development of models can advance geoscience. We anticipate and welcome participants from all areas of geoscience spanning academia\, industry and teaching. \nConvenors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Peter Burgess – University of Liverpool\nDr Brian Burnham – VRGeoscience\nProf. Tim Dooley – Bureau of Economic Geology\, The University of Texas at Austin\nProf. Cathy Hollis – University of Manchester\nProf. Janine Kavanagh – University of Liverpool\nProf. Yvonne Spychala – RWTH Aachen University\nDr Georg Warrlich – Shell

SUMMARY:Deepwater Sandstones: New paradigms\, new frontiers: Energy Group
DESCRIPTION:It has been 30 years since the publication of GSL Special Publication No. 94 ‘Characterisation of Deep Marine Clastic Systems’. At that time the move to explore and develop deepwater reservoirs in present day deepwater settings was beginning to gather pace\, but many significant deepwater discoveries were still to be made. Prevailing paradigms about process and product were changing as workers in the field focused on developing an understanding that a wider range of processes beyond classical turbidity currents were responsible for depositing and shaping deepwater sandstone deposits. \n\n\nThirty years later depositional models and process understanding has evolved significantly\, leading to the successful deployment of concepts that have driven exploration to integrate new ideas including the role of mass-transport complexes and a wider range of particulate sediment gravity flow processes. A much deeper understanding of post-depositional remobilisation and it’s role in shaping subsurface architectures and influencing fluid flow and petroleum recovery has also emerged. Vast deep-water discoveries have been developed and now accumulated significant production history\, providing a wealth of data sets that have dramatically improved characterisation of deep-water systems. Tertiary reservoirs have been extensively developed\, and today the focus has shifted decisively to older Cretaceous systems around the circum Southern Atlantic margins. Continued advances in geophysical technology\, seismic data acquisition and processing\, including ‘AI/ML’ driven interpretation tools\, have contributed to our ability to visualise\, map and characterise these systems in the subsurface. \n\n\nThirty years on from this key Society publication new paradigms and frontiers are being explored in the field. This symposium aims to showcase developments\, insights and case studies from the last three decades and bring together geoscientists and practitioners working on deepwater sandstones from across academia\, industry and government organisations. \nCall for abstracts now open\nThe call for abstracts for this conference is now open until Monday 29 June 2026. \nFor further information\, please contact: energygroup@geolsoc.org.uk
