May12-13, 2014, workshop on new perspectives on deep-water sandstones was held in UPC by school of geosciences. The topic is deep-water process sedimentology and unconventional oil & gas detection. Scholars and students from more than 20 universities and institutes attended the workshop.

 Dr. G. Shanmugam is giving lecture.

      Dr. G. Shanmugam, a internationally renowned polemic and a pragmatic process sedimentologist from University of Texas-Arlington, was invited to give lectures on the workshop. His research focus on deep-water process sedimentology, mass-transport processes, bottom currents, Sandstone diagenesis and organic geochemistry. In the lecture, he put emphasis on the dynamic mechanics of landslide and trigger mechanism of sedimentation and gave in-dept exploration on the process and causes of deep-water sedimentation.
