The journal Sedimentology will again appear with 6 issues. Five Special Publications, a Field Guide for the Almeria area in Spain, as well as a Reprint Volume on clastic diagenesis are in preparation. However, we also want to encourage young sedimentologists from countries where research possibilities are less well established, and where funding is lacking. We do this through our Friendship Scheme and by paying travel expenses to international congresses and field workshops. Funding IAS is funded by membership fees.
All officers work for free, and there are no permanent staff or formal headquarters.
