STRATI 2013: First International Congress on Stratigraphy At the Cutting Edge of Stratigraphy (Springer Geology)

The __1st International Congress on Stratigraphy__ (STRATI 2013), hold in Lisbon, 1–7 July 2013, follows the decision to internationalize the conferences previously organized by the __French Committee of Stratigraphy__ (STRATI), the last one of which was held in Paris in 2010. Thus, the congress possesses both the momentum gained from an established conference event and the excitement of being the first International Congress on Stratigraphy. It is held under the auspices of the __International Commission on Stratigraphy__ (IUGS) and it is envisaged that this first congress will lead to others being held in the future. This book includes all papers accepted for oral or poster presentation at the 1st International Congress on Stratigraphy. Papers include a short abstract, main text, figures, tables and references. Each paper has been reviewed by two internationally renowned scientists.

Thus, The Congress Possesses Both The Momentum Gained From An Established Conference Event And The Excitement Of Being The First International Congress On Stratigraphy. It Is Held Under The Auspices Of The International Commission On Stratigraphy (iugs), And It Is Envisaged That This First Congress Will Lead To Others Being Held In The Future. This Book Contains all Papers Accepted For Oral Or Poster Presentation At The 1st International Congress On Stratigraphy. Papers Include A Short Abstract, Main Text, Figures, Tables, And References. Each Paper Has Been Reviewed By Two Internationally Renowned Scientists.
