SEPM's MANANGEMENT OF STRATA & ORIGINAL SITE DEVELOPERS

Howard Harper, Executive Director of the SEPM Society for Sedimentary Geology, announced at the meeting of the SEPM Research Group for Sequence Stratigraphy at the AAPG Convention in Denver (June 8, 2009, 7- 10 pm, Marriott City Center Hotel) that the STRATA website (http://strata.geol.sc.edu/) would be moved to the SEPM website.

ExxonMobil plans, for a minimum of three years, to provide a grant of $15'000 per year to maintain and extend this site. The intent is to extend this industrial support with further contributions to an industrial association other members who may support the site.

SEPM’s proposes that the Strata/SEPM site remains open domain with easy access allowing a continued open debate on sequence stratigraphy. The site will continue to gather all pertinent and available information as it relates specifically sequence stratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy and other aspects of stratigraphy and provide acces to these on the STRATA website.

The University of South Carolina has kindly relinquished copyright of the STRATA website except for sponsored research materials that are attributed on this site to the “© University of South Carolina”.

Under the direction of the STRATA website committee appointed by SEPM, Christopher Kendall has been commissioned to help the SEPM maintain the page,. This committee, yet to be nominated or elected, will monitor and offer editorial advice on the materials to placed on the site following the protocol expected for an on line publication.
