The Source-to-Sink (S2S) approach has become a key integrative framework for understanding the evolution of orogenic systems and their associated basins. This perspective links sediment generation, transport, and deposition processes while considering the interactions among tectonics, climate, and surface dynamics. This session aims to bring together contributions addressing orogenic dynamics, exhumation processes, sediment transport, and deposition in foreland and wedge-top basins. Contributions may focus on specific case studies (such as Andean systems) as well as on theoretical, conceptual, or modeling approaches that improve our understanding of the fundamental processes controlling system evolution from source to sink. We welcome contributions exploring the connections between sediment generation processes (source), sediment transfer (transfer zone), and deposition (sink) across a range of temporal and spatial scales. Studies based on field data, laboratory analyses, or numerical modeling are encouraged, as are theoretical and methodological developments in areas such as thermochronology, geochemistry, sedimentary provenance, geochronology, stratigraphic analysis, structural analysis, and geological modeling.
