Scientific sessions

Scientific sessions

The scientific program of the congress will be organized into topical sessions. The broad themes are Jurassic life, environment, Earth history, stratigraphy, regional geology, and resources. Initially, using input from the local and international committees, we compiled the following long and preliminary list of potential special sessions. Overlaps will be considered and minimized for a shorter final list, after gauging the interest from the community and potential presenters.

  • Marine life in the Jurassic
  • Terrestrial life in the Jurassic
  • Paleoecology and taphonomy of Jurassic fossils
  • Jurassic climate and environment
  • Global events in and around the Jurassic
  • The Toarcian OAE and other Jurassic hyperthermals (IGCP 655)
  • Science outcomes of the JET project
  • Jurassic biostratigraphy, integrated stratigraphy and time scale
  • Jurassic GSSPs
  • Marine-to-terrestrial correlations in the Jurassic
  • Physical and chemical stratigraphy throughout the Jurassic
  • Jurassic sea level changes and sequence stratigraphy
  • Jurassic geodynamics, plate tectonics and paleogeography
  • Jurassic geology of the world (66 years after Arkell)
  • Western Tethys meets Eastern Tethys (IGCP 710)
  • Jurassic sedimentary basins
  • Jurassic magmatism and LIPs
  • Mineral resources and Jurassic metallogenesis
  • Jurassic geoheritage
