6th International Symposium of the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project-589
Development of the Asian Tethyan Realm: Genesis, Process and Outcomes
Western Tethys meets Eastern Tethys
Dear Friends and Colleagues of Tethys Ocean
We cordially invite you to the 6th International Symposium of the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project-589 which will be held on 29 September – 5 October 2017 at the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH UST) in Kraków, Poland, Mickiewicza 30 and at the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute (PGI-NRI), Carpathian Branch in Kraków, Skrzatów 1.
Kraków is very close to the Carpathian orogenic system, a remnant of the Tethys Ocean and is a perfect place for understanding the relationship between Western and Eastern Tethyan Realms. Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of this Ocean has long been investigated in both Asia and Europe. The IGCP-589 project focused in last five years to the Asian part of Tethys and in this year will concentrate on the connection between European (western) and Asian (eastern) Tethys by investigating in different branches of geology: stratigraphy, palaeontology, sedimentology, tectonics, structural geology, palaeogeography, petrology, geochemistry, palaeomagnetism, and geophysics. Moreover, Kraków is one of the most picturesque old town of the southern Poland, full of historical monuments, museums and galleries.
The Sixth International Symposium of IGCP-589 will be a forum where colleagues from different, both Asian and European countries, can present their work and discuss their ideas covering various aspects of the development of the Tethyan Realm. The Post-Symposium field trip will focuse on Alpine/Carpathians structures which recorded the long story of the western part of Tethys Ocean.
