Discover the Dynamics of Fluvio-tidal Zones with Dr. Alina Shchepetkina
Join us for an enlightening expert talk on the complex interactions within the Fluvio-tidal Transition Zone (FTZ) and their implications for the oil and gas industry, presented by Dr. Alina Shchepetkina, Assistant Professor of Environmental Sedimentology at the University of Western Ontario. This session promises to deepen your understanding of environmental and sedimentary geology through the lens of both ancient and modern estuarine environments.
Event Details:
Dr. Shchepetkina will delve into the sedimentological and ichnological complexities of the FTZ, influenced by factors like tidal volume, river flux, and sediment type. By exploring examples from North American estuaries and the Cretaceous McMurray Formation, the talk will highlight key criteria for identifying FTZ characteristics and their significance in facilitating transitions within the oil and gas sectors.
Dr. Shchepetkina’s extensive research background encompasses a range of disciplines including ichnology, petrography, and climate change, making her uniquely qualified to address this topic. Her current projects involve investigating sedimentological trends, analyzing climate impacts on marine biota, and assessing potential sites for carbon sequestration.
