XVIII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMIAN Second Circular ICCP-2015 Second Circular XVIII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMIAN August 11–15, 2015, Kazan, Russia Welcome to Kazan It is our privilege and pleasure to invite you to the XVIII International Congress on the Carboniferous and Permian, to be held at the Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Russia, August 11 – 15, 2015. The Carboniferous and Permian successions of Russia have a long history of study and are renowned for excellent outcrops that occur over a vast territory, a considerable variety of depositional types, and abundant fossils. This makes Russia one of the most famous and popular locations for basinal studies, global and regional tectonic reconstructions, paleogeographical and biostratigraphic research, and upper Paleozoic fossil collecting. Carboniferous and Permian research in Russia has recently seen a marked increase in activity. National and international projects have focused on documentation of candidates for global stratotypes for stage and substage boundaries in historical and newly discovered sections, and paleotectonic reconstructions of the Uralian Ocean, leading to new interpretations of the evolution of the Paleo-Tethys. Considerable progress was made in the study of Carboniferous and Permian successions in Siberia and the Russian Far East. Exciting fossil excavations revealed new faunas in the Cis-Uralian Region, which in combination with modern geochemistry technologies has led to great advances in our understanding of the paleoclimate at the end of the Paleozoic, and new insights into the causes and consequences of Carboniferous-Permian events, especially the P-T extinction. The XVIII ICCP meeting in Kazan will provide an important forum for discussion of the most relevant cutting-edge topics of Carboniferous-Permian geology and paleontology, and a unique opportunity to see and collect from exceptional geological localities in European Russia.

The palynological record of coal deposits reflects changes in land plant communities and vegetational patterns related to climate change, thus providing significant data for high-resolution palaeoclimate reconstructions in deep time. Marine black shale deposits contain marine and terrestrial organic particles that allow for nonmarine–marine correlations.

The ICCP-XVIII Congress coincides with the 16th FINA World Aquatics Championships 2015, also held in Kazan, from 24 July to 9 August 2015. This may cause difficulties with finding hotel accommodation if that is left too late. We suggest that participants make their reservations early. Travel Insurance Participants should have valid health insurance for the entire journey. All foreign participants are required to bring with them health insurance contracts, covering the period of the trip, from an insurance company that provides an international insurance policy. Climate Kazan has a continental climate with warm, often hot, dry summers. August is hot, average 21°C to 25°C, infrequently exceeding 33°C or dropping below 16°C. There is a possibility of light rain. Overall it is pleasant. Type of clothing and weather conditions For the field excursions, you are advised to bring sturdy field boots (rubber boots could be useful), a raincoat, and a hammer. All hotel rooms are normally air-conditioned. Registration The registration form is available on the Congress website: www.ICCP2015.kpfu.ru until April 1, 2015. The registration fee is reduced, and is a fixed price Regular participant 250 Euro, this price is inclusive of the Congress fee, the volume of Abstracts, and refreshments during session breaks Student 125 Euro as above: students must show a valid student ID card Accompanying person 50 Euro, as above: with the exception of the volume of Abstracts Participants are required to pay the registration fee at the meeting registration desk. 11 Second Circular XVIII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMIAN Geohost program The organizers are trying to raise funds to support regular participants and students from countries with struggling economies. The funds will be used to waive the registration fee and to pay the accommodation during the Congress. If your participation in the Congress depends on such financial support, please fill in the application form on the Congress website: www.ICCP2015.kpfu.ru or kpfu.ru/iccp2015 "IAS sponsorship for sedimentology students" The 18th International Congress on the Carboniferous and Permian in Kazan is partially sponsored by the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS), and therefore IAS student Members can request travel grants. IAS Student Members can apply for a travel grant through the IAS website (http://www.sedimentologists.org/). Applications can be submitted until 10 June 2015; after the deadline the application page closes automatically. The application procedure is simple and requires submitting a short letter of justification together with some specific details regarding location, travel distance, affiliation, etc. After approval, successful travel grant applicants will be informed by the Office of the IAS Treasurer. Given the difficult situation with money transfer between Europe and Russia, travel grants will be transferred to student bank accounts after the conference, or paid in cash by a representative at the end of the congress after signing of a receipt. Important Dates April 1, 2015: Deadline for registration and abstract submission. April 30, 2015: Deadline for registration on fieldtrips. Associated costs to be advised. June 1, 2015: Third Circular with the program is available for distribution and online. June 10, 2015: Deadline for application form to the Geohost program. October 30, 2015: Deadline for manuscript submission to the proceedings volumes. Contact us Vladimir V.
