Quantified fluvial facies models: bar to basin scale observations from the Ebro Basin, Spain

Leaders: 

Amanda Owen (University of Glasgow) and Gary Nichols (RPS)

Description:

This field trip will examine fluvial facies variability across a single sedimentary basin. Focus will be on understanding the high variability observed along basin margins as well as testing the predictability of downstream variations of a Distributive Fluvial Systems. Observations and discussions will cross many scales from the bedform -barform scale to whole systems scale, focusing on how quantified data of sedimentary characteristics can test and develop current fluvial facies models.

Logistics/recommendations:

Beginning of the trip (meeting place and time of departure): Barcelona airport, 1pm.
