Influence of relative sea-level variations of vegetal-related organic matter distribution within alluvional environments: a numerical modelling approach

DionisosFlow is a numerical stratigraphic model which predicts the facies distribution in response to a given basin history. Recently, a new R&D project dedicated to organic-rich facies in DionisosFlow was created. The aim is to reproduce the main organic matter depositional environments. This work presents the first results associated to the terrestrial organic matter module. First a literature review is proposed to fix the context and the objective to achieve. Then, the methodology of the model is presented. Finally, several case-studies are used to enlighten the behaviour of the model.
