Evolution and Migration of Brines in Sedimentary Basins
GSA Hydrogeology Division, GSA Sedimentary Geology Division; Society of Economic Geologists; Society for Sedimentary Geology
Alicia M. Wilson, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC; Benjamin J. Rostron, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB
- Brines hold clues to often complex paleohydrologic and geochemical histories and provide an important approach for studies of long-term transport in sedimentary basins. We seek contributions that explore the geochemical evolution, migration, and distribution of brines in modern and ancient basins from hydrogeologic and geochemical standpoints. ORAL and POSTER
