Sessions > Symposium F: Regional geology and geoheritage

Session F 1: Regional geology and case studies: from the outcrop to global implications

Regional geological studies often encompass multiple geological disciplines and techniques to study important geological features of a region. They are essential cornerstones for the geological knowledge. This session welcomes all kind of regional geological studies of the late Paleozoic (Devonian-Permian); ranging from the description of particular outcrops or geological phenomena to large regional synthesis.

Session F 2: Geoheritage and geoconservation of the Late Paleozoic

Geoheritage includes the most representative, unique and interesting elements of the geological record with a significant scientific, educational, and aesthetic value. It is a legacy for the future generations. The Late Paleozoic is a key period for the knowledge of Earth and its history. The most valuable geological elements result from geological processes, whether assets, features, landforms or structures, important to any geoscience such as stratigraphy, paleontology, tectonics, geodynamics, etc. This session aims to discuss on the conservation, management and promotion of the relevant geological sites of interest and outstanding collections associated with orogens and basins during Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian times.
