We are delighted to inform you that King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, in collaboration with the International Lithosphere Program (ILP), will host the 19th Workshop of the ILP Task Force on Sedimentary Basins on December 1-3, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This workshop provides a platform for exploring different aspects of crustal evolution using a variety of geoscientific approaches. Taking place each year in various geological locations, the event attracts a substantial gathering of scientists and specialists from around the world. The workshop promotes the exchange of cutting-edge research in lithospheric science, emphasizing the interplay between tectonics, sedimentary processes, and natural resource systems. It brings together national and international experts to address challenges in geological modeling, geodynamics, and sustainability.
1-3 December 2025 - Scientific sessions
30 November 2025 - Pre-conference Field Excursion
4 December Roundtable Discussions
1 October Registration Deadline (Registration not yet available)
Learning Objectives Comprehend the geological mechanisms and tectonic environments that influence the development and progression of sedimentary basins. Acquire knowledge of contemporary research methodologies, such as seismic, geochemical, and stratigraphic techniques, employed in the analysis of sedimentary basins. Investigate the connections between sedimentary basins and natural resources, including oil, gas, and minerals, along with their consequences for resource exploration and extraction. Attain an understanding of the environmental and societal effects of sedimentary basin development, addressing concerns related to land utilization, water resources, and pollution. Collaborate with prominent researchers and specialists in the field to foster partnerships that enhance the comprehension of sedimentary basins.
