Scientific, industrial and societal context

Carbonate sedimentary systems, like modern coral reefs, belong to Earth external envelopes and form a unique interface between biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere that is in permanent physico-chemical disequilibrium. They consist in solid substratum, mobile or rigid, acting as a major carbon sink, with complex structures and heterogeneities at all scales. Understanding carbonate sedimentary systems

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
