IGCP608 Second Meeting and Field Trip, Waseda Japan, September 4-10, 2014

INVITATION AND AIMSThe Organizing Committee cordially invites you to the 2nd International
Symposium of IGCP608 “Cretaceous ecosystems and their responses topaleoenvironmental changes in Asia and the Western Pacific” to be held in Tokyo,
Japan on 4-10 September 2014.
The IGCP Project 608 kicked off last year with the successful meeting of
the First International Symposium at Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany,
Lucknow, India. The IGCP608’s aim is to delineate the Cretaceous ecosystems andhow they responded to the paleo-environmental changes during the Cretaceous timethat affected the South-East Asian and adjacent Western Pacific region. We will
depict how the types of ecosystems that were established during the Cretaceous
evolved in Asia and the Western Pacific. Doing so, we will try to ascertain links
between global and local environmental changes in both marine and terrestrial
ecosystems. This project comprises two groups of major topics: 1) Variations ofCretaceous terrestrial and marine environments, and 2) Evolution of Cretaceous
terrestrial and marine ecosystems in Asia and the Western Pacific.
The 2nd International Symposium of the IGCP608 in Tokyo will hold thefollowing topic sessions with respect to 1) OAE (oceanic anoxic event) phenomena,2) Land-ocean linkages, 3) Tectonic evolution and paleoenvironments, 4) Biotic
evolution from Asian and Western Pacific records, and 5) Asian geoparks
highlighting Cretaceous. These will be based on the multitude of the adequate
information gathered from terrestrial and marine strata in Asia and Western Pacificand others.
As a post-symposium field excursion we will visit the forearc siliciclastic
successions exposed along the Pacific coast and nearby, central Japan, 100-250 km
east to northeast from Tokyo. We can observe fluvial to offshore turbidite facies
through storm-dominated shallow-marine facies occasionally associated withseveral sedimentary structures and such fossil sites as vertebrate bone beds andbivalves/ammonite shell beds, including excellent geoscience-based museums andsome geosites of Japanese Geoparks, “Choshi” and “North Ibaraki”.
