IAS 2018 Field Trip Album

​Seismic-scale fluid migration features in a passive margin setting,
Outcrop analogues from the Mesozoic SE France Basin
​​​12-14 June 2018, Sisteron (Provence), France ​

~
Our field trip has successfully ran in June this year. We thanks all of the participants for having joint this field trip. The opportunity to make scientific exchange will our participants from worldwide is extremely valuable. Thanks all of you for bringing us the great time during the field trip. We would like to thank also IAS for sponsoring the travel grant to students.
The photos below are taken during the field trip.
​Enjoy! See you next time!

Participants are visiting the most prestigious dinosaur museum "Palaeo Gallery" in France. The museum owner at the back of the gallery, on the right hand side is explaining the fossil handling process.

The museum owner on the far left is explaining to participants how he prepared these fossils.

One of the biggest Ichtyosaure skulls is exposed in this museum.

Carbonate nodule with liquid petrol is a gift for every participant of this field trip.

Participants are discussing about the petrol-bearing-nodules in the front yard of the dinosaur museum "Palaeo Gallery".

One of our leaders has adapted a very creative way to guide the participants during the travel.
