[ 2009 – 12 – 29 ] A New IGCP Project with International Leaders from the Czech Republic: Happy new year
2010 from IGCP 580! We are just getting started, but note the
downloadable ‘Abstracts and Field Trip books from The First General IGCP 580 Meeting
in Liege’ (Magnetic Susceptibility and
Paleoenvironments), just emerging databases, expansion of project
activities in various corners of the world, coming events, and so forth…. all
on the IGCP 580 web
pages (from Belgium). The priority issues for this
project are in magnetic susceptibility, limestones, paleoenvironments and
high resolution correlation, but this project has a broad interdisciplinary
background and, mainly, aims to bridge the environmental and scientific
disciplines, with ambitions to develop the knowledge on the Earth system as
whole, on the dynamics of environmental change, and so forth. This all
relates to geosciences, physics and
chemistry of the Earth, as well as life sciences, technical disciplines,
physics and mathematics for the general theories and development of applied
tools. For up-to-date information you may contact Leona Koptikova, the regional coordinator, at Institute of Geology AS CR. J.
