The 11th Congress on Tidal Dynamics and Sedimentology (TIDALITES) took place at the University of Liverpool from 9–11 September 2025, bringing together a vibrant and multidisciplinary community of researchers working across sedimentology, oceanography, coastal morphodynamics, and tidal energy. This year’s congress drew excellent engagement, with 50+ abstracts and over 75 attendees from around the world—including

Prof. Adrian J. Harley and Prof. John Howel are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to investigate the sedimentology of tidal depositional systems, combining fieldwork, core analysis, and modern analogues. This exciting project offers the chance to work within a dynamic research environment and contribute to our understanding of tidal processes and their preserved record.  Location: University of Aberdeen,

Modern and ancient tidal sedimentary systems in the era of energy transition We are happy to share the link to the Special Volume of The Depositional Record entitled Modern and ancient tidal sedimentary systems in the era of energy transition. The volume examines tidal sedimentary systems through 11 articles, spanning ancient and modern tidalites, technological
