Special
Issue on Cretaceous Earth Dynamics
and Climate in Asia
–Short Paper Volume for the First International Symposium of the
IGCP 679, Oct. 11-17, 2019, Qingdao, China
The Special Issue “Cretaceous
Earth Dynamics and Climate in Asia” of Open Journal of Geology (OJG) aims to present the
recent achievement of the IGCP 679 project, which is aimed to explore the
processes and mechanisms of the rapid change in climate and environment under
greenhouse conditions during the Cretaceous, and the evolutionary responses of
the biodiversity on land of the Asian continent and in the around oceans.
In this special issue, we intend to invite IGCP 679
project members, the IGCP 679 First International Qingdao Symposium participants
and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Cretaceous
Earth Dynamics and Climate in Asia. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:
-
Palaeontology and biostratigraphy of marine and
non-marine fossils
-
Radiometric dating, palaeomagnetics and chronology
-
Biodiversity evolution on land and in the oceans
-
Carboncycle and Cretaceous ocean anoxic events
-
Palaeoecology and palaeoenvironment under greenhouse
conditions
-
Palaeoweathering, geochemistry and climate change
The Cretaceous was
the most recent, warmest period in the Phanerozoic Era, and characterized by
more elevated atmospheric CO2 levels and significantly higher
global sea levels than today. The IGCP 679 project will be based on Earth
system science to reveal the Cretaceous 'Greenhouse' Earth's oceanic and
terrestrial climates and environmental conditions and their evolution. This
will lead to an in-depth understanding of the existing characteristics of rapid
climate and environmental changes and global warming. We will explore the
processes and mechanisms of the rapid change in climate and environment under
greenhouse conditions during the Cretaceous, and the evolutionary responses of
biodiversity on land and in the oceans of the Asian continent.
Authors should read
over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should
submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly specify
the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special
Issue - Cretaceous Earth Dynamics and Climate in
Asia” should be selected during your submission.

Research interest: Palaeontology
and stratigraphy of Mesozoic rocks of China, including the fossil groups of
radiolarian, foraminifera, ammonite, ostracod. Recently, He pays more attention
to the terrestrial ecosystem, with special interests in fossil clam shrimps
(“conchostracans”) of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks in China, and with emphasis
on biostratigraphy, paleoecology and evolution.
