Dear Colleagues,
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.
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.
We encourage you to proceed to the Symposium website to register, submit abstracts, select sessions, and sign up for field excursio ns.
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.
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.
The final program of the Symposium will be published in e arly July.
With kind regards,
Ireneusz Walaszczyk, Jacek Gr abowski, Agata Jurkowska, Piotr Krzywiec, Marcin Machalski, Zbigniew Remin, Jordan Todes, Alfred Uchman and Jurand Wojewoda

Pre-Symposiu m
Late Cretaceous Geodynamics of the Sudetes are a in the sedimentary record The northern periphery of the Bohemian Massif, including the Sudetes, is characterized by (1) local variation in the timin g of marine transgression in response to dramatic differences in the underl ying geological substrate and topography, (2) a large range of lithologic v ariation within the Cretaceous sediments, and (3) a clear sedimentary recor d of syndepositional geodynamic activity. During the Cretaceous, this area was divided into several sub-basins with well-defined tectonic frames, ofte n with pull-apart structures driven by the regional strike-slip dextral geo dynamic regime dominant throughout its post-Variscan history. The Cretaceou s deposits in the Sudetes represent an excellent example of the interaction of global, regional, and local processes on sedimentation.

Turonian-Coniacian of the Opole Cretaceous. This field trip will lead participants to the enor mous Folwark quarry in Opole, where almost the entire so-called “Opole Cret aceous” is well-exposed. These strata – largely marls and chalks – are char acterized by a rich, diverse paleontological and ichnological record: there are numerous representatives of ammonites, inoceramid and other bivalves, echinoids, sponges and other invertebrate groups, to a lesser extent, verte brates (fish, sharks, and reptiles). The biostratigraphical scheme relies o n calcareous nannoplankton, inoceramids, and ammonites.

The end of an Era: record of environments, biotic communities an d events across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in Poland We shall be gui ding you to the most important localities in central and eastern Poland tha t record the environments, biotic communities and events just prior to and across the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary. This trip will include the classic localities near Kazimierz Dolny, in the Middle Vistula River secti on, as well as a section near Chełm with the K-Pg iridium anomaly. We shall also pay a visit to a regional museum at Kazimierz Dolny with a collection of late Cretaceous fossils.

The Cretaceous of the North Sudet ic Synclinorium (southwestern Poland): stratigraphy, origin and economic im portance. This trip will focus on the facies and sedimentary development of the Cenomanian‒Santonian shallow marine to terrestrial deposits of the Nor th Sudetic Synclinorium (some 400 km southwest of Warsaw), which record a s edimentary basin (the North Sudetic Basin) that formed in the mid- Cretaceo us at the northern margin of the Bohemian Massif. The North Sudetic Basin c onstituted a southeastern extension of the East Brandenburg Basin and was, at least temporarily, connected by a (supposed) strait with the adjacent In tra-Sudetic Basin and – further to the south –the Bohemian Basin: according ly, it linked the Tethyan and Boreal realms. Depositional processes, system s, and environments, and the factors controlling sedimentation in this basi n, will be discussed. The economic importance of the deposits – as building stones, glass sandstones, and ceramic clays – will also be examined.

Late Cretaceous inversion of the Polish Basin – facies distribution and bathymetrical changes The trip will focus on the northeastern part of the Mid-Polish Anticlinorium. In several outcrops, we will examine the main facies of this region (sandy limestone, gaize, opoka, marls, chalk), their spatial relationship, and resultant bathymetric and e nvironmental interpretations. The surface data will be linked to high-resol ution seismic images linking the subsurface changes to the depositional arc hitecture during the Late Cretaceous inversion of the Polish Basin.

New Library The new 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 wh ile retaining adistinct Mazovian heritage. The interior of the building is stunning, centered around a three-story monumental ‘Passage’ leading to the library itself, and open spaces connecting reading halls, resting places, and the books themselves. Our lecture halls directly face rows of bookshelv es containing massive collections of books and magazines from around the wo rld. There are also numerous shops, cafes, and art galleries on the library premises. The roof of the library hosts one of the largest, most beautiful rooftop gardens in Europe, and is an attractive resting place for students and tourists alike. From the roof, visitors can admire both the Varsovian skyline and the Vistula River. The garden is immersed in a profusion of vib rant plants: yellow, pink, red and orange flowering shrubs, silver-leaved w illows, white blooming Dasiphora fruticosa, and dwarf pines, among many oth ers. The walkways, paths, bridges, and pergolas traversing the garden are h idden within an assortment of vines and climbing hydrangea, providing a sce ne of solitude and nature within the bustling University of Warsaw campus. The majority of the symposium will be hosted here, in the new library. THE UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW Old Library This is an iconic building of the Universi ty of Warsaw: initially built in 1894, at the beginning of the 21st century it was fully renovated into a modern lecture and conference centre. [Durin g World War II, Czesław Miłosz, the 1980 Nobel laureate in Literature, work ed here as a janitor.] We will meet here for the Opening Ceremony.

EG European Geological Education Center in Chęciny ECEG is the University o
f Warsaw’s geologic field center, built within an abandoned Devonian dolomi
te quarry in the medieval town of Chęciny, in the heart of the Gòry Świętok
rzyskie (the Holy Cross Mountains). With state-of-the-art geological labora
tories, lecture rooms, hotel accommodations, and all of the other facilitie
s that may be useful for comfortable field work, it is a perfect place to c
