Quaternary stratigraphy and paleontology of the southern Russia: connections between Europe, Africa and Asia
21-26 June, 2010
Rostov-on-Don
Russia
2010 annual meeting SEQS
AIMS OF THE MEETING
The eastern part of the Sea of Azov region is one of the best-known areas for the Quaternary geology in Russia. Rostov-on-Don is the major regional center situated at the mouth of the magnificent Don River. The Don basin and Sea of Azov area have many key sections of the Quaternary yielding abundant palaeontological data, including large and small mammal faunas, molluscs, pollen, etc. Subaqueous and subaerial facies of the Quaternary sediments are exposed along the Don Valley and the Azovian seashore. Middle-Late Pleistocene loess-paleosol sequences contribute to the paleoclimate record for the Middle and Late Pleistocene. The Conference is aimed at a broad scientific exchange on important issues of the Quaternary and welcomes Quaternary scientists working in relevant fields throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and other continents.
It should be emphasized that the regional Museum in the town of Azov, 30 km south from Rostov-on-Don, has a rich collection of the Neogene and Quaternary mammalian fauna, as well as a beautiful historical exposition on the Scythian and Sarmatian period, including a very unique collection of golden artifacts. The ancient Greek town of Tanais is another archaeological wonder of the area. We hope that these regional geological and historical objects will be of interest for the broad international community of scientists.
