General Information
Dear participants,
We cordially invite you to participate in the First International Symposiumof IGCP Project 679, which will be held during October 11–17, 2019 in Qingdao,China.
The preparing work for the symposium has been going smoothly andsuccessfully. Up to now, about 100 participants have registrated for thesymposium from 15 countries, including the Czech Republic, France, Germany,India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Russia,
Thailand, UK, Vietnam and China. About 56 abstracts have been submitted inwhich 48 oral presentations and 8 posters have been scheduled for thesymposium. We have edited a special issue in Open Journal of Geology, Vol. 9,
issue 10 (https://www.scirp.org/journal/Home.aspx?JournalID=587), in which
50 short papers have been included, covering a broad spectrum of fields
reflecting many facets of biodiversity, palaeoenvironment, palaeogeography
and palaeoclimate from the marine and non-marine Cretaceous sequences inAsia. Till the sending of this 3rd circular, the special issue has received morethan 1000 downloads, and near 2200 view.
The Organizing Committee of the symposium would express the sincere
thanks to you for your warm and kind supports, and look forward to meeting
you in Qingdao very soon.
In the Third Circular, we would introduce information for yourconvenience to attend the symposium, including the tentative programs,traffic ways between the airport and the railway stations and the hotel, etc.
Please do not hesitate to inform us if you have any question and suggestion.
Have a good journey to Qingdao, China, and hope you have a pleasanttime in China!

Symposium Venue and Traffic Connection
The First International Symposium of IGCP Project 679 will be held at
Shandong University of Science and Technology in Qingdao, Shandong
Province. The accommodation was arranged in the Blue Horizon Hotel (黄岛蓝海大饭店) during the pre-symposium field trip and the scientific session.
The Qingdao International Airport has air-lines directly to Inchon, Nagoya,Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hong Kong, etc. For your convenience to travel toQingdao, we suggest that you may via Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou totransfer. The air-lines from Beijing to Qingdao have more than 10 flights foreach day, and Shanghai or Guangzhou to Qingdao having several flights foreach day.

The arrival date is suggested on Oct. 11 (for participants who would liketo take part in the pre-symposium field excursion) or Oct. 14 (for participants
who would like to take part in the scientific session of the Qingdaosymposium). However, if your flights are earlier, you could inform theSymposium Secretariat, and we can make earlier arrangements for yourarrivals.
On Oct. 11 and Oct. 14 (even earlier), at the Qingdao International
Airport, the staff of the Secretariat will arrange several vehicles to pick you up
in batches to the Blue Horizon Hotel (黄岛蓝海大饭店). Please pay attentions

If you could not catch the picking-up vehicles arranged by the Secretariat,
you could have the chance to use the public traffic system:
1. From the Qingdao International Airport you could take an airport
shuttle bus (a trip of about one hour and 40 minutes) (40 ChineseYuan) to go to the Blue Horizon Hotel (黄岛蓝海大饭店). The timetable for the shuttle bus is as following:

3. From the Qingdao Railway station you could also take Tunnel Line 5, 6,7 buses (隧道 5、隧道 6、隧道 7 号线) to get off at the South Gate
Station of Petroleum University. Then you could cross the campus andgo out of the North Gate of Petroleum University. 100 m to the east isthe Blue Horizon Hotel (黄岛蓝海大饭店).
4. From North Qingdao Railway Station you could take subway line 3 (地铁 3 号线) to arrive at Qingdao Railway Station. The you could takethe above suggested buses to go to the hotel.
In any case, please send your traveling schedule to the Secretariat, as
