UNESCO Project ​IGCP-700 

Palaeozoic Carbonate Build-ups in South East Asia

​​​​

Year 2024’s meetings

​

Introduction:

This year we have a plan to organise 3 main meetings and field trips including joint meeting in China, Vietnam and Cambodia. The first meeting organised in Nanjing as part of the 6th International Conference of Palaeogeography. IGCP700 and IGCP735 jointly organised the Session T2-2: Carbonate platforms in Asia (in conjunction with IGCP projects 700 and 735). The major aim of this session is to focus on the broad history of platforms, their comparisons across time and terranes and the reasons for their establishment, demise, differing architecture, and biotic development. The second meeting will be held in Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark as part of the 8th Asia Pacific Geoparks Network Symposium, under the Session 5 "Geopark education and science popularization" under the name "Geopark education and science popularization (with Palaeozoic carbonate buildups, their landforms and fossil contents: scientific and geotouristic values (in conjunction with IGCP-700))".  This meeting will include mid-conference fieldtrip in the geopark. The last meeting will be jointly organised with the 3rd International Conference on Earth Resources and Geo-Environment Technology (EraGET2024) during 12-15 December 2024. IGCP700 will organise the Workshop on: Palaeozoic stratigraphic correlation and carbonate platform development in SE Asia. The workshop aims at providing knowledge on Palaeozoic stratigraphic correlation of the Indochina, Sibumasu and other terranes across SE Asia. It will also introduce key important fossils for biostratigraphy and palaeoenvironemtn interpretation for your scientists and students. The event will also provide platform for participants to discuss the up-to date information including surface and subsurface exploration data during the workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
