Meeting Report: 16th International Permian-Triassic field workshop in Ardèche (southeast border of the French Massif Central)

Bourquin, S. 2021. Meeting Report: 16th International Permian-Triassic field workshop in Ardèche (southeast border of the French Massif Central). Albertiana, 46: 11-12.

International Permian-Triassic Workshop was passed in 2020 from G. H.  Bachmann, Halle/Germany, to S. Bourquin, and the 16th field workshop took place on September 10‒13, 2021 in France. It was organized by the AGPT (Association des Géologues du Permian et du Trias, https://agpt.wordpress.com/) of which S. Bourquin is the president. This excursion was guided by J.B. Regnet, Cergy Paris Univ., C. Bailly, Paris Saclay Univ., E. Fara, Univ. Bourgogne – Franche-Comté and D. Bonijoly, BRGM (French geological survey) Orléans (Regnet et al., 2021). The aim of this excursion, initially intended for AGPT members, in July 2020, was to present recent research on the Ardèche Triassic. We were to organize another excursion in 2021 as part of the 16th workshop in order to present a synthesis of the Triassic of Ardèche. The pandemic forced us to reschedule the AGPT field trip in July 2021, which was cancelled a second time, and then in September 2021, preventing us from scheduling another field trip in 2021. Therefore, we have decided to open our field trip to the 16th International Permian-Triassic Field Workshop. In consequence, this excursion welcomed 15 participants from France, Italia, Spain and Germany, who were accommodated in a hotel in the small village of Sanilhac and two rented minibuses were used for transport.
