Annual Report 2009 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific A meeting on the Sakhalin-Kamchatka Paleogene was held in Moscow, April 2009, to consider new materials and to outline plans of works for 2010-2011. The works include particularly a part of a special project on geological evolution of the North Pacific […]
Annual Report 2010 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific A working meeting on Paleogene stratigraphy was held in Sakhalin, August 2010. It considered a new model of the Paleogene correlation scheme for the shelf basins of Japan and the Sakhalin-Kamchatka region. Special attention was given to the Early-Middle Eocene geological […]
Annual Report 2011 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific 1. In April 2011 a workshop on Paleogene stratigraphy of the Sakhalin, Kamchatka and Japan region was held in Saint-Petersburg. Special attention was attracted to absolutely new data on Ypresian foraminifers and mollusks (sharp appearance of abundant warm-water assemblages in North […]
Annual Report 2012 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific In 2012 the Working Group on North Pacific Paleogene continued its activities . 1. New materials on the Paleocene-Eocene development of the Kamchatka-Sachalin region have been prepared for press. Attention was specially payed to evolution of biotic assemblages in changing paleogeographic […]
Annual Report 2013 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific In 2013 two working meetings were held in Moscow (May) and Sakhalin (October). They discussed regional stratigraphic schemes for Paleogene of Kamchatka and Sakhalin in relation to a new stage of geological mapping and stratigraphic investigations. A special attention was paid […]
Annual Report 2008 of the Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminifera Working Group. The Working Group on deep-water benthic foraminifera was created in 2008 in order to gain insight into the knowledge of Paleogene deep-sea benthic foraminifera, their palaeoecology, and potential for stratigraphic correlation. Michael A. Kaminski (University College London) was elected Chair and Laia Alegret (University […]
Annual Report 2009 of the Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminifera Working Group. The Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminiferal Working Group has continued its researches this year, investigating the benthic foraminiferal turnover and distribution across the Paleogene. Special attention has been paid to the following intervals: 1.- The Cretaceous/Paleogene transition: Investigations have been concentrated on the Pacific Ocean, […]
Annual Report 2010 of the Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminifera Working Group. This year, the working group has concentrated on analyzing the effects of Paleocene warming events (hyperthermals) on deep-sea benthic foraminifera. These results may serve as an analogue to understand the causes and potential consequences of the recent global warming. In addition, advances on the […]
Annual Report 2011 of the Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminifera Working Group. Following last year´s line of research, we have continued to study the behaviour of deep-sea benthic foraminifera during periods of sedimentary disturbance and global warming, such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and a newly discovered hyperthermal event during the Ypresian (middle Eocene). Much progress […]
