You can see the details of our meeting objective, venue, schedules, field excursion and some other useful information on the Second Circular. It also introduces the host institution, Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany (BSIP). Professor Sunil Bajpai (Director) will kindly invite us to the first meeting among the East Asian Cretaceous IGCPs since the Ajmedabad Meeting of IGCP350 in 1997.
A post Symposium five-day field excursion to the Cretaceous non-marine to shallow-marine sequences distributed in the central and western peninsular India is proposed. These sequences consist of the Bagh Beds with a prolific marine fauna and the overlying dinosaur-bearing Lameta Formation, which in turn is overlain by the Deccan Trap volcanics and the intercalated sedimentary deposits (inter-trappeans) straddling the K/T boundary.

Scope: The Global Geoparks Program that started in the 1990s as an initiative to foster protection and sustainable use of the planet's geoheritage will be merged with the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP), a UNESCO initiative to promote research on geology, in the upcoming UNESCO General Conference in 2015. A new international initiative, the International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP) will result out of this merger. In this session we will conduct an evaluation of the achievements of the existing Geoparks and IGCP programs and provide insight on the initiative of IGGP. The session will also feature discussion on the interrelationship between Earth Sciences and Society.
The leader, H. Ando will present a brief introduction on IGCP608 and related activities.
2) International Symposium on “Dinosaur Reproduction” (Poster)
Date: June 24th 2016 (Fri.) during the Annual Meeting of the Palaeontological Society of Japan
Venue:Institute of Dinosaur Research, Fukui Prefectural University, Fukui, Japan
Moderators: Yoichi Azuma and Kazunori Miyata (Fukui Prefectural University) ready been known from all the continents except Antarctica and Australia. Today, our understanding about dinosaur reproduction is still rapidly growing. Also, notably, the dinosaur eggs and eggshells, including those of birds, were recently reported from the Lower Cretaceous of Japan. The study about dinosaur reproduction facilitates our understanding about the reasons of dinosaur long-term prosperity during the Mesozoic, and the evolution of diverse and unique reproductive strategies among extant birds. On the other hand, the study is still in its youth, and its importance does not seem recognized widely enough. It is for this reason that we organize this symposium in an aim to discuss furthering the study about dinosaur reproduction through presentations of the latest research.
INTRODUCTION: Modern study about dinosaur reproduction started in the late 1970’s based on fossil eggs and nests. By the late 90’s, dinosaur eggs and nests had al

Year 1 (2013)
- Create web site of the new IGCP Project
- The First International Symposium is planned to hold in the central/southern part of India in late August/late December organized by an Indian co-leader Bajpai and a regional coordinator of India, Prof. Prasad in collaboration with the Geological Survey of India and Oil and Natural Gas Commission. In this meeting, the state-of-the-art knowledge of Cretaceous Land, Ocean, Biosphere and Ecosystems in each participating country will be presented in addition to regular research results.
Also, planned is a special symposium session dealing with a few selected sedimentary basins in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh fundamentally important for reconstructing the Cretaceous Ecosystem of South Asia, because many of participants from East Asia are not familiar with basins in South Asia.
Our meeting itself should be prepared for fruitful discussions and encouraging students and young scientists to participate. An abstract volume and field excursion guidebook will be published for participants as in our previous IGCP meetings. Also, the first business meeting will be held at the same time to determine the detailed project plan to be undertaken over the next four years of our research.
The results of this information will be published as a proposed edited volume of a peer-reviewed, international scientific journal. - A four-day field excursion for the Cretaceous non-marine to shallow-marine sequences distributed in the central and western peninsular India. These sequences consist of the famous Bagh Beds (Turonian) with a prolific marine fauna and the overlying dinosaur-bearing Lameta Formation.
- International collaborative researches based on Asian Cretaceous fields; e. g.
1) δ13C stratigraphy of the non-marine and partly marine Lower Cretaceous sequences in NE China to compare and correlate with those of European, Western China (Tibet and Xinjiang) and mid-Pacific and Japanese sections; sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and National Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
2) Lower Cretaceous sequences in Mongolia by collaborated scientists from Japan, China and Mongolia focusing on intercontinental lacustrine deposits, paleoenvironmental changes and their causal mechanisms; sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
3) Paleoichnology of prolific dinosaur trackways and egg sites in the southern coast of Korean Peninsula long studied during two decades will be continued further in collaboration with scientists from USA and Japan.
4) Deccan intertrappean sequences in India are being under study by Indian and Korean scientists. This project intends to reveal paleoclimatological signals prior to the end-Cretaceous extinction; cosponsored by Indian Academy of Sciences and Korea Research Foundation. Cretaceous sequences in the Cauvery Basin located in the southernmost India have been also continuously studied by Indian and Korean scientists since 2005.
5) (1) Late Cretaceous terrestrial records and climatic changes in Northeast China to compare and correlate with the data of East Asia, and (2) Cretaceous marine records and relating OAEs, oceanic oxygen-rich events, LIPs and climatic changes in Eastern Tethys (southern Tibet, China), has been conducted by a Chinese group, both supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MOST) and the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
6) Cretaceous sequence stratigraphy of the Sanjiang (NE China) - Middle Amur (SE Russia) basins; sponsored by Jilin University, China, and Institute of Tectonics & Geophysics, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. - Attending the 9th International Symposium on the Cretaceous System in Ankara, Turkey (1-5 Sept.) and presenting papers. The representative attendances will introduce the current status of our IGCP sciences as well as their own scientific results. We will plan to hold a joint session with a related IGCP (e.g. IGCP609) project.
Year 2 (2014)
- Second International Symposium and a business meeting in Tsukuba (near Tokyo), Japan. At this meeting, in addition to the presentation of regular research results, the current status of Cretaceous ecosystem studies in Asia will be reviewed and their issues worth pursuing during the project will be pointed out by some delegates from different countries.
- As a special session of the symposium, the linkage of land, ocean and biosphere are to be discussed from the Asia and Western Pacific perspectives. Some participants may provide the paleogeographic and paleoceanographic information of the Western Pacific Ocean including southwest region. By the end of the year, several results of IODP drilling the Cretaceous sediments and igneous rocks of LIPs will further released and published. We will invite scientists concerned with such projects and share the state-of-art results and knowledge for improving and stimulating our science. The marine linkage between Northwest and Southwest Pacific connection will be presented by Prof. T. Hasegawa (Japan) and Dr. J. Crampton (NZ) based on their collaborative works.
- A two- to three-day after-conference field excursion is planned to hold in the sedimentary basins in central Japan where the various aspects of research had been carried out over a decade. We can see the alternating marine (deep to shallow) and terrestrial (fluvial) deposits and their transitions in sedimentary facies and biofacies laterally and stratigraphically.
- Publication of papers presented at the Second International Meeting in a peer-reviewed, international scientific journal.
- Continued International collaborative researches in some groups; e. g. Lower Cretaceous sequences in Mongolia by collaborating scientists from Japan, China and Mongolia. A few holes of a hundred meter drilling will be conducted to take continuous core samples of Lower Cretaceous lacustrine mudstone deposits in the southeast Gobi desert if it is granted. High-resolution cyclostratigraphy as well as carbon-isotope and conchostracan stratigraphy enable us precise correlation of the terrestrial paleoenvironmental changes with the specific global events (such as OAEs)
- Attending the 4th International Palaeontological Congress in Mendoza, Argentina (28 Sept. to 3 Oct.) and presenting papers.
Year 3 (2015)
- Third International Symposium and a business meeting in China in late August, organized by a Chinese co-leader, Wan and a regional coordinator of China, Prof. Li, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Science and China Natural Science Foundation. This meeting will be held jointly with “12th Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems” at Shenyang Normal University, Shenyang, organized by Prof. Sun Ge who found the oldest angiosperm fossils from the Lower Cretaceous deposits in China.
- The associated field excursion of three to four days duration will visit the Lower Cretaceous lacustrine strata in Liaoning Province, Northeast China, which are known to contain well-preserved prolific vertebrate, invertebrate and plant fossils crucially important for reconstructing Cretaceous biota and ecosystems.
- Publication of papers presented at the Second International Meeting in a peer-reviewed, international scientific journal.
- Continued International collaborative researches in some groups.
Year 4 (2016)
- Fourth International Symposium and a business meeting in Novosibirsk, Russia in August to September organized by Russian members. As well as regular research papers, research results dealing with the Cretaceous in central Russia will be presented as a special symposium session, because many of participants from East Asia are not familiar with Cretaceous basins in central Russia.
- Field excursion of three to four days duration in somewhere to study marine/non-marine Cretaceous sections near Altai Mountains/ the eastern slope of the Polar Urals, Russia. As a special session of the symposium, overviewing the Cretaceous terrestrial and marine sedimentary basins in East Asia and their research outcome in ICDP of the Songliao Basin, Mongolian lacustrine deposits in Gobi Basin, Sichuan Basin in South China, Khorat Basin in Thailand, and eastern Tethys marine deposits in Southwest China (Tibet) etc. We also plan to make an overview of the linkage between land, ocean and biosphere from the Asia and Western Pacific perspectives.
- Publication of the Fourth International Meeting in a peer-reviewed, international scientific journal.
- Continued International collaborative researches in some groups.
- Attending the 35th International Geological Congress in Cape Town, South Africa and presenting papers. We will plan to hold a special session in collaboration with other related IGCP (e.g. IGCP609)/ICDP (Songliao Basin) projects if available.
Year 5 (2017)
- Fifth International Symposium and a business meeting in Seoul, Korea in late August organized by a co-leader D.K. Cheong and his colleagues. This meeting will summarize results of the present IGCP Project.
