Carbonate Diagenesis: Recent Advances and Paradigm Shifts

Explore the fascinating world of carbonate diagenesis in this 1-hour 22-minute lecture from Seds Online. Delve into the latest advancements in analytical techniques and absolute dating of diagenetic phases, which have revolutionized interpretations in carbonate sedimentology. Discover how observation-based studies have dramatically shifted our understanding of carbonate diagenesis, particularly in shallow burial environments where mineral transformations and translocations in marine fluids play a crucial role. Examine the evolving perspectives on diagenesis in shallow meteoric systems and learn about the growing recognition of hypogene fluids' ability to modify limestones at seismic scales. Gain insights into the ongoing paradigm shifts in interpreting marine, meteoric, and burial carbonate diagenesis, and understand why this field has become increasingly captivating for researchers and students alike.

Carbonate diagenesis is now much more interesting than it used to be: I’ll prove it
