Meeting Information: The Subcommission on Triassic Stratigraphy (STS) is organizing the “International Symposium on Triassic Integrated Stratigraphy & Bio-Environmental Events”, jointing with the 5th International Conference of Geobiology on 10–13 June, 2020, in Wuhan, China. To promote studies on global Triassic stratigraphy and better understand on biotic & environmental evolutions during the Paleozoic-Mesozoic transition, we invite Triassic experts in the world to join the Triassic symposium.
The symposium addresses the following five aspects:
1) Triassic integrated stratigraphy and GSSPs;
2) Triassic mass extinctions (P-T & T-J) and recovery;
3) Minor extinctions and lesser calamities (i.e., SSB, mid-Carnian events, etc.);
4) Triassic paleontology and macroevolution;
5) Triassic biosedimentology and paleobiogeography.
Year 2020 is the first year for the new STS executive, thus, we will summarize our achievements in past 4 years and, more importantly, promote new collaboration, and discuss future works on Triassic stratigraphy and bio-environmental events.
The Symposium (Theme 5 in 5th IGC Circular) offers pre-Symposium and post-Symposium field excursions to Fengshan, South China and Xi’an, NW China, offering opportunities to exam the uppermost Permian to Middle Triassic marine and terrestrial sections. The programs also include sightseeing on amazing Karst landscapes in South China and ancient Chinese culture in the Xi’an city.
You are cordially invited to participate in the Triassic Symposium as well as these two field excursions. The 2nd Circular of the 5th IGC including more details on this symposium is also attached. Please kindly contact the conference secretary Dr. Jun HU (Tel: 086-15527725502; Email: hujuncug@163.com) for details about registration and accommodation. If you are interested in either field excursion, please contact field excursion leaders directly for registration and itinerary.
