Sponsored by the IAS (International Association of Sedimentologists) every four years, the congress aims at gathering participants from all over the world to discuss and share the most recent advances in the broad field of sedimentology. The five day-long event offers oral and poster presentations in themed sessions and mid-conference one-day field trips and short courses. Moreover, a series of pre- and post-meeting field trips will be organized in several places of Canada and the USA.
