International Society for Carbonate Sedimentology

The International Society for Carbonate Sedimentology (ISCS) is a global organization dedicated to the study of carbonate rocks, like limestone and dolomite, which form from mineral deposits in marine environments. Its members include geologists and scientists who research how these rocks develop, their history, and their significance in Earth’s history and resources. The society promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and advances in understanding carbonate sedimentation, which is important for topics like oil and gas exploration, environmental change, and Earth's geological evolution.
