Field Trips

Depositional Systems

    1. Fluvial


    2. Fluvial deposits from the Tremp-Graus, Ainsa, and Ebro basin are Eocene to Miocene aged. They exhibit a variety of architectural styles representative of diverse fluvial regimes.

    3. The basins and formations for field trips on Fluvial subject are:

    4. Castissent Fm (Tremp-Graus basin, Eocene)

    5. Escanilla Fm. (Ainsa basin, Eocene)

    6. Huesca Fm (Ebro basin Eocene to Miocene)

    7. Caspe Fm (Ebro basin Eocene to Miocene)


    8. The dataset includes:

    9. Detailed outcrop characterizations,

    10. correlation diagrams and geological maps

    11. Remote sensing data

    12. Ground Penetrating Radar

    13. Electrical tomography


    14. Topics covered:

    15. Controls on the evolution of the fluvial system (climate, base-level, accommodation space)

    16. Contrasts between contributive and distributive fluvial systems

    17. Heterogeneity scales and its role in fluvial deposits
