The Fourth International Symposium ofInternational Geoscience Programme
IGCP Project 608“Cretaceous Ecosystems and Their Responses to
Paleoenvironmental Changes in Asia and the Western Pacific”

August 15–20, 2016, Novosibirsk, Russia

Third (Final) Circular and ProgramINVITATION & AIMS
We cordially invite you to participate in the 4th International Symposium of
IGCP608, which will be held from August 15 to 20, 2016 in Trofimuk Institute ofPetroleum Geology and Geophysics of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of
Sciences, Novosibirsk (Russia).
The mechanisms underlying the evolution of the Asia-Pacific Cretaceous ecosystems
are far from being fully understood. The IGCP608 project is aimed to reconstruct theCretaceous ecosystems and the history of their responses to paleoenvironmental
changes in Asia and the Western Pacific. The Symposium will serve as a platform forparticipants to share their views on the paleoenvironmental changes impacts both onterrestrial and marine ecosystems. The scientific program will cover a wide range of
topics including paleoclimate, paleogeography, paleontology, stratigraphy, tectonics,
and petroleum geology.
The symposium is dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the birth of Corresponding
Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Professor Vladimir N. Saks (1911–1979),
Soviet geologist and paleontologist, and the founding father of the Mesozoic
paleontology and stratigraphy Research Group in Novosibirsk Academy Town.
The 4th International Symposium of the IGCP608 in Novosibirsk will provide an
opportunity for discussion of the latest advances in studies of Asia-PacificCretaceous ecosystems. In addition to scientific sessions, the post-symposium field
excursion will be organized in Kemerovo Oblast to examine the non-marine
Cretaceous deposits yielding dinosaurs and other vertebrates.

Weather in August in Novosibirsk and Kemerovo
The weather during August in Novosibirsk and Kemerovo is enough warm andhumid. Occasional rain shower is possible at any time. Therefore, hat and other sun
protection things are strongly recommended for all participants, and we recommend
light cotton clothing and umbrella. August is still bathing season, you can swim in
the so-called ‘Ob Sea’ (Novosibirsk Reservoir created on the Ob River) and rivers(during field excursion); so you cantake the swimwear.
August is commonly characterized by
gradually falling daily temperatures,with daily highs ranging from 20 to23°C over the course of the month,exceeding 26°C or dropping below
15°C only one day in ten.
Daily low (night) temperatures range
from 8 to 12°C, falling below 4°C or
exceeding 15°C only one day in ten.
Daily high and low temperature in August
