IGCP 580 wishes you a happy new year 2010! We are just getting started, but note the downloadable Abstracts and Field Trip books from The First General IGCP 580 Meeting in Liege (Magnetic Susceptibility and Paleoenvironments), just emerging databases, expansion of project activities in various corners of the world, coming events, and so forth…. all on the * IGCP 580 web pages * (from Belgium).

At the project's core are issues about magnetic susceptibility, limestone and high resolution correlation, but this project has a broad interdisciplinary background and, mainly, aims to bridge the environmental and scientific disciplines, with a second-plan focus on understanding the Earth system as whole, on the dynamics of environmental change, etc. This all relates to geosciences, physics and chemistry of the Earth, as well as life sciences, technical disciplines, physics and mathematics for the general theories and development applied tools.

This IGCP 580 project (2009-2014) is co-organized from the Czech Republic. For up-to-date information you may contact Leona Koptikova, the regional coordinator, at * Institute of Geology AS CR *. The project development may benefit from coordination of your scientific, technical, educational or technology-transfer activities with the recently registered Czech and Central European teams and experts.
