Explore the debate on autogenic processes in sedimentary systems through this engaging conference talk. Delve into the complexities of sedimentary systems as experts argue for and against the motion that autogenic processes are part of the allogenic spectrum. Learn about key concepts such as emergent behavior, self-organizing patterns, and cyclostratigraphy. Examine the role of sedimentation rates, ice caps, and glacial-interglacial cycles in shaping sedimentary systems. Gain insights from leading researchers as they discuss the implications of the "ignore flashy" paradigm and address questions on self-organization in sedimentary environments.
