Dispersed organic matter in sedimentary rocks
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
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 […] more
Identification of Dispersed Organic Matter
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
Objectives The Identification of Dispersed Organic matter working group (IDOM WG) was created in Budapest (2004) upon revision of the activities of the former Isolation of Sedimentary Organic Matter WG (1988-1998). The focus of this WG is to test the applicability of the existing nomenclature of dispersed organic matter classified in accordance to the ICCP-TSOP Classification […] more
Classification of Dispersed Organic Matter ICCP-TSOP DOM Atlas
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
This project is a joint effort of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology (ICCP) and of The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP). The Classification system was agreed to in 2003 and is a single system for different illumination modes. An Atlas is under preparation which illustrates the appearance of the different dispersed organic components […] more
Qualifying Vitrinite for DOM Reflectance Analysis
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
Objectives The group was created in 1999 (Bucharest) to test and discuss a qualifying system for vitrinite particles in order to determine the quality of reflectance data. Milestones The labelling system initially proposed by J. Koch (BGR, Hannover) was discussed, tested and modified to improve the definitions. At the meeting in Utrecht (2003) it was […] more
Identification of Thermal Maturity Relevant Organic Matter
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
AIM The Identification of Primary Vitrinite WG (now Identification of Thermal Maturity Relevant Organic Matter WG) was created at the Oviedo meeting in 2008 with the aim of providing guidelines for identification and reflectance measurement of the thermal maturity relevant population in dispersed organic matter. Previous results from Commission II regarding the qualification of vitrinite […] more
Concentration of Organic Matter
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
Aim The effect of the isolation procedure on organic matter optical properties has been a past objective of ICCP round robin exercises. A review by Angeles Borrego of exercise results demonstrated that some questions remain open. Therefore a reactivation of the concentration working group activities was decided at the 2007 ICCP Meeting in Victoria. Objectives The main objective of the […] more
Palynofacies
| April 5, 2015 | Filled under Com II |
|
Aim The Palynofacies working group was proposed by Isabel Suárez-Ruiz at the 2011 Porto meeting. Palynofacies is an integral part of organic petrology and there is need to better integrate this work into the efforts of the ICCP. Dr. João Graciano Mendonça Filho is the working group convener. At the Porto meeting several potential objectives […] more

The Microscopy of Carbon Materials Working Group
| March 20, 2014 | Filled under Com III |
|
The Microscopy of Carbon Materials Working Group (WG) was activated at the 60th ICCP Meeting in Oviedo, Spain 2008, with the objectives directed to the microscopically characterization of carbon materials derived from coal and petroleum. The WG is focused to consolidating and completing the existent methods developed for carbon materials structural and textural characterization: Describe of the optical appearance […] more
