Sedimentology conferences

The congress examines Quaternary environmental and human history and its practical relevance to society. Themes include climate archives, geological hazards, sediments and heritage, the Anthropocene, chronology, data synthesis and modelling. Studies of glaciers, rivers, deserts, wetlands and coasts connect past changes with questions about present food, water, environmental and settlement security. Scientific presentations are accompanied by workshops and optional excursions through Indian geological and archaeological settings. Presenters must pay by 30 October 2026; field-trip registration also closes that day. Delayed and onsite registration continues through the congress closing date.

Organized by the M-FED27 Organising Committee, the conference examines microbial deposits from modern environments to the deep geological record. It combines sedimentology, geomicrobiology, geochemistry, mineralogy and petrology across field, laboratory and molecular scales. Contributions address how microbialites form and change, methods for studying them and environmental applications. Talks and posters are supplemented by workshops and optional field excursions; reduced prices support early-career participation.
