SUMMARY:11th International Cretaceous Symposium
LOCATION:University of Warsaw
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><em>&nbsp;Dear Colleagues, </em></p><p>We stand in solidarity with our c
 o-workers, our colleagues, our friends, and the entire Ukrainian Nation in 
 their heroic defense of their country against Russian invasion. We earnestl
 y hope for peace, and that we will be able to celebrate their liberation so
 on.</p><p>It is our pleasure to announce that the registration and abstract
  submission portals of the 11th International Cretaceous Symposium (11th IC
 S), to be held in Warsaw, Poland from August 22 to 26 (with pre-conference 
 field-trips, August 18-21, and post-conference field-trips, August 27-29), 
 have opened.</p><p>We encourage you to proceed to the Symposium website to 
 register, submit abstracts, select sessions, and sign up for field excursio
 ns.</p><p>Please look at the revised scientific session program. Note that 
 the program has not been finalized, and that new session proposals will be 
 carefully considered: we welcome suggestions of additional sessions [and wo
 rkshops] if you find the topic worthy of coverage during the Symposium.</p>
 <p>At the present time, we anticipate the Symposium will be a *mostly* in-p
 erson event. However, an online live streaming service will be offered to t
 hose unable to travel to Warsaw, but willing to join us. We are also aware 
 that, because of the current geopolitical situation, some of the present pl
 ans may need to be modified; if necessary, we will provide updates ina time
 ly fashion.</p><p>The final program of the Symposium will be published in e
 arly July.</p><p>With kind regards,</p><p><em>Ireneusz Walaszczyk, Jacek Gr
 abowski, Agata Jurkowska, Piotr Krzywiec, Marcin Machalski, Zbigniew Remin,

 RSION (3 DAYS)</h4><p>Late Cretaceous Geodynamics of the Sudetes area in th
 e sedimentary record The northern periphery of the Bohemian Massif, includi
 ng the Sudetes, is characterized by (1) local variation in the timing of ma
 rine transgression in response to dramatic differences in the underlying ge
 ological substrate and topography, (2) a large range of lithologic variatio
 n within the Cretaceous sediments, and (3) a clear sedimentary record of sy
 ndepositional geodynamic activity. During the Cretaceous, this area was div
 ided into several sub-basins with well-defined tectonic frames, often with 
 pull-apart structures driven by the regional strike-slip dextral geodynamic
  regime dominant throughout its post-Variscan history. The Cretaceous depos
 its in the Sudetes represent an excellent example of the interaction of glo
 bal, regional, and local processes on sedimentation.</p><p><strong>Led by</

 Opole Cretaceous. This field trip will lead participants to the enormous Fo
 lwark quarry in Opole, where almost the entire so-called “Opole Cretaceous”
  is well-exposed. These strata – largely marls and chalks – are characteriz
 ed by a rich, diverse paleontological and ichnological record: there are nu
 merous representatives of ammonites, inoceramid and other bivalves, echinoi
 ds, sponges and other invertebrate groups, to a lesser extent, vertebrates 
 (fish, sharks, and reptiles). The biostratigraphical scheme relies on calca
 reous nannoplankton, inoceramids, and ammonites.</p><p><strong>Led by</stro

 NFERENCE EXCURSION (2 DAYS)</h4><p>The Cretaceous of the North Sudetic Sync

 e. This trip will focus on the facies and sedimentary development of the Ce
 nomanian‒Santonian shallow marine to terrestrial deposits of the North Sude
 tic Synclinorium (some 400 km southwest of Warsaw), which record a sediment
 ary basin (the North Sudetic Basin) that formed in the mid- Cretaceous at t
 he northern margin of the Bohemian Massif. The North Sudetic Basin constitu
 ted a southeastern extension of the East Brandenburg Basin and was, at leas
 t temporarily, connected by a (supposed) strait with the adjacent Intra-Sud
 etic Basin and – further to the south –the Bohemian Basin: accordingly, it 
 linked the Tethyan and Boreal realms. Depositional processes, systems, and 
 environments, and the factors controlling sedimentation in this basin, will
  be discussed. The economic importance of the deposits – as building stones
 , glass sandstones, and ceramic clays – will also be examined.</p><p><stron

 Carpathians and the Pieniny Klippen Belt. The excursion will lead through s
 elected outcrops of Cretaceous deposits in the western and middle part of t
 he Polish Flysch Carpathians. Variable facies, problems of stratigraphy and
  ichnology of the most important lithostratigraphic units in the Silesian, 
 Subsilesian and Magura nappes will be presented.</p><p><strong>Led by</stro

 RSION (3 DAYS)</h4><p>Late Cretaceous inversion of the Polish Basin – facie
 s distribution and bathymetrical changes The trip will focus on the northea
 stern part of the Mid-Polish Anticlinorium. In several outcrops, we will ex
 amine the main facies of this region (sandy limestone, gaize, opoka, marls,
  chalk), their spatial relationship, and resultant bathymetric and environm
 ental interpretations. The surface data will be linked to high-resolution s
 eismic images linking the subsurface changes to the depositional architectu
 re during the Late Cretaceous inversion of the Polish Basin.</p><p><strong>

  University of Warsaw Library is a building of surprising diversity, fusing
  the functionality of a modern library with the atmosphere of an old town. 
 Abutting the Vistula embankment, it encapsulates European culture while ret
 aining adistinct Mazovian heritage. The interior of the building is stunnin
 g, centered around a three-story monumental ‘Passage’ leading to the librar
 y itself, and open spaces connecting reading halls, resting places, and the
  books themselves. Our lecture halls directly face rows of bookshelves cont
 aining massive collections of books and magazines from around the world. Th
 ere are also numerous shops, cafes, and art galleries on the library premis
 es. The roof of the library hosts one of the largest, most beautiful roofto
 p gardens in Europe, and is an attractive resting place for students and to
 urists alike. From the roof, visitors can admire both the Varsovian skyline
  and the Vistula River. The garden is immersed in a profusion of vibrant pl
 ants: yellow, pink, red and orange flowering shrubs, silver-leaved willows,
  white blooming Dasiphora fruticosa, and dwarf pines, among many others. Th
 e walkways, paths, bridges, and pergolas traversing the garden are hidden w
 ithin an assortment of vines and climbing hydrangea, providing a scene of s
 olitude and nature within the bustling University of Warsaw campus. The maj
 ority of the symposium will be hosted here, in the new library. THE UNIVERS
 ITY OF WARSAW Old Library This is an iconic building of the University of W
 arsaw: initially built in 1894, at the beginning of the 21st century it was
  fully renovated into a modern lecture and conference centre. [During World
  War II, Czesław Miłosz, the 1980 Nobel laureate in Literature, worked here
  as a janitor.] We will meet here for the Opening Ceremony.</p><p>ECEG Euro
 pean Geological Education Center in Chęciny ECEG is the University of Warsa
 w’s geologic field center, built within an abandoned Devonian dolomite quar
 ry in the medieval town of Chęciny, in the heart of the Gòry Świętokrzyskie
  (the Holy Cross Mountains). With state-of-the-art geological laboratories,
  lecture rooms, hotel accommodations, and all of the other facilities that 
 may be useful for comfortable field work, it is a perfect place to carry ou
 t student field camps and geologic research. ECEG will serve as the base fo
 r some of our field trips, and host many of the pre- and post-conference wo
 rkshops.<br /><br /></p><h3>COMMITTEES</h3><h4>Scientific Committe</h4><ul>
