GLOBAL PREDICTION OF MODERN CARBONATE FACTORIES (Laugié et al., 2019)

The initial question was “how to predict global occurrence of marine carbonates during the Phanerozoïc with paleo-climate forward models” ? (cf. project GCP). (1) establish the carbonate factory function: the links between paleo-oceanic parameters (T°, Salinity, OM, … Water Depth, and paleo-ecosystems producing carbonate sédiments, (2) run paleo-climate and paleo-oceanic simulations (cf project GCP) and …

ALBION project – Outcrop and Dynamic Analogues of Carbonate Reservoirs – with Hydrocarbon, Water or Gas …

Very big and ambitious research project organized by TOTAL (Massonnat et al., 2017) involving many universities, scientific disciplines and geoscience experts and students for improving our understanding and modelling of flow dynamics in complex carbonate reservoirs with highly heterogeneous pore systems (matrix, fractures, karsts) (ALBION). In this post, we address only the geological activities of …
