Sedimentology of Convergent Margins – Field Conference in Taiwan

A field conference to discuss the sedimentology, stratigraphy and controls on sedimentation in basins along convergent margins. The mountainous country of Taiwan is the result of the ongoing collision between the western edge of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian continental margin. As part of the SEPM’s 100th anniversary, we invite you to join a 7-day field-conference that will take you around the island to visit key outcrops recording the various stages of the island arc-continent collision and the uplift of the Taiwan orogen.
