The research group of Sedimentary
Geology and Basin Analysis of the Department of Earth and Environmental
Sciences composed by Chiara Amadori, Andrea Di Giulio and Giovanni Toscani, is
pleased to announce the International Winter School entitled
“Thermal history of basin-source systems:
techniques, modelling and applications”.
The School will be held on February
10th-15th 2020
at the historical Palazzo San
Tommaso, Aula Bottigella (location:
Piazza del Lino 1) and at Department of Earth and
Environmental Sciences on February 15th (location: Via
Ferrata 1).

The major purpose of the School is to
share and discuss the modern knowledge of the basin-source system and its thermal
evolution from sedimentological, structural, geochemical and modelling point of
view. In addition, the need to
understand the processes of basin formation and evolution is not purely
academic as sedimentary basins are the location for hydrocarbon and water
reserves and host a variety of important mineral deposits; as such they are the
focus of intense industrial interest.
The School is targeted to PhD students
and post-docs; also advanced master students are allowed to attend the lectures
because we want the future graduates and early-stage researchers to develop all
necessary skills appropriate to the demands of their research or professional
career.
The School will provide 40h lectures by
11 key-note speakers from all over the World and a guided visit to the Eni’s
scientific laboratories in San Donato Milanese (MI).
Our lecture program follows a “thermal
philosophy”, in other words: how to study the evolution of a sedimentary basin
through time-depth-temperature, and which are the best techniques to unravel those
information. In detail, the first day is fully dedicated to present the
fold-and-thrust belt and foreland basin systems to create the geological
background for the next days, more focused on analytical techniques and
numerical modelling.
Last but not least, the Winter School is
sponsored by University of Pavia, Eni E&P and Earth and Environmental
Sciences PhD Program.
Key works: basin analysis, fluid
inclusions, organic matter, Illite/Smectite, (U-Th)/He, Ar-Ar dating, ZFT, AFT,
thermal modelling, hydrocarbon.
