Objectives
The objective of the Dispersed Organic Matter in Sedimentary Rocks WG is to provide a reference text for the petrographic analysis of dispersed organic matter including identification of components and thermal maturity. The Working Group has been established in 1995 with the objective to provide an Atlas of Dispersed Organic Matter (DOM Atlas). Since the Working Group has been inactive over the years and since it was realized that the first contributions were mainly in form of texts addressing important items in terms of DOM, the objective of the Working Group changed. It was decided that the work related to the DOM Atlas will be conducted within the Classification of Dispersed Organic Matter ICCP-TSOP DOM Atlas WG. The remaining contributions remained within the Dispersed Organic Matter in Sedimentary Rocks WG and were designated to provide a White Paper for the DOM Analysis. In the past years, a number of draft versions were prepared and presented. The last version from 2016 (the 12th version), with contributions from: Borrego, A G., Hackley, P., Hámor-Vidó, M., Kalkreuth, W., Mendonça Filho, J.G., Petersen, H.I., Pickel, W., Reinhardt, M†., Suárez-Ruiz, I. enclosed material, which still required substantial re-writing and modifications.
At the 2019 ICCP Meeting in The Hague, the Netherlands, Chair of Commission II, Jolanta Kus, following personal communication with Maria Hámor-Vidó and Isabel Suárez-Ruiz, suggested that the 12th version requires a re-examination with regard to the present structure and content of the sub-chapters, bibliography, tables, and figures. Together with Paul Hackley and Paula Alexandra Gonçalves the present Convenors presented a current workload management.
The Working Group on Dispersed Organic Matter in Sedimentary Rocks will be open to all professionals interested in providing contributions to the selected sub-chapters of the new version of the White Paper. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Jolanta Kus (J.Kus@bgr.de).

Dear Members of the ICCP Commission II,
Together with Jolanta Kus and Paul Hackley, we are approaching you as the Convenors of the Dispersed Organic Matter in Sedimentary Rocks WG established within the Commission II (https://www.iccop.org/workinggroup/dispersed-organic-matter-in-sedimentary-rocks-classification-identification-and-thermal-maturity-white-paper/).
As mentioned at the last ICCP Meeting in Patras, we are in the final stages of preparing two review papers on the application of DOM microscopy in geological studies. The two manuscripts are entitled: “The petrology of dispersed organic matter in sedimentary rocks: review and update” (Manuscript 1-Gonçalves et al.), and “Applications of dispersed organic matter petrology in the 21st century: a review” (Manuscript 2-Kus et al.).
We have completed the draft of Manuscript 1 entitled: “The petrology of dispersed organic matter in sedimentary rocks: review and update”, by Gonçalves, P.A., Kus, J., Hackley, P.C., Borrego, A.G., Hámor-Vidó, M., Kalkreuth, W., Mendonça Filho, J.G., Petersen, H.I., Pickel, W., Reinhardt, M.J., Suárez-Ruiz, I., ICCP, and we would like to request your collaboration in the review process.
This manuscript will be submitted to the International Journal of Coal Geology (IJCG). The target submission date is April/May of 2024, so we would like to receive your reviews by April 14. The manuscript will only be available for review upon request.
If you are interested in reviewing this manuscript, please contact paula.goncalves@fc.up.pt
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to any of us.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Paula, Jolanta and Paul
All the Commission II Members are welcomed.
