The 5th Symposium of IGCP 632 is planned for the Sunday and Monday of October 1 and 2, 2017
in Flagstaff, AZ, USA. Flagstaff sits near the south end of the Colorado Plateau, which has
spectacular exposures of largely continental Triassic and Jurassic sequences. Flagstaff is also close
to the famous Grand Canyon of that cuts down to a depth of over 1.6 km deep along a 433-km-longcourse. This symposium will focus on, but is not limited to, continental events and processes in theJurassic world and their relation with the marine record along transects from the Jurassic tropics tothe poles, including the Triassic-Jurassic, Toarcian, and Jurassic-Cretaceous events.
The overall scope of IGCP 632 (http://www.igcp632.org/) focuses on the global aspectof Jurassic climate, biota and the correlation between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. It issupported by the International GeoScience Program (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/naturalsciences/environment/earth-sciences/international-geoscience-programme/) of UNESCO, alongwith the IUGS (http://www.iugs.org/).
A pre-meeting field trip September 27-30 (note additional day) will look at largely
continental Triassic-Jurassic boundary through Late Jurassic sections on and around the Colorado
Plateau.
