Kazan Golovkinsky Stratigraphic Meeting 2021,

 celebrating the 180th anniversary of the establishment of the Permian system

“Sedimentary Earth Systems: Stratigraphy, Paleoclimate, Geochronology, Petroleum Resources”

Sixth All-Russian Conference “Upper Paleozoic of Russia”

October 18-22, 2021, Kazan, Russia

The sedimentary basins of the past are represented by a very broad range of facies. The evolution of these facies reflects major geographical, climatic, and biospheric changes. Professor Nikolai A. Golovkinsky (1834–1897), a founder of the Kazan geological school and the author of fundamental studies on the geology and stratigraphy of Eastern Europe, was one of the first geologists to recognize the empirical rules of sedimentary succession and the lateral diachroneity of facies in sedimentary basins (Golovkinsky-Walther’s Law), which was a basis for the modern concept of sequence stratigraphy.

The Permian system was firstly established in 1841 on the territory of Russia by the British geologist Roderick I. Murchison.

The Permian successions of Russia have a long history of study, and host fuel and mineral resources of huge economic importance. Excellent outcrops provide unique insights into the stratigraphy of both terrestrial and marine settings. However, correlation of marine and non-marine successions is still problematic due to the lack of precise biostratigraphic control and unambiguous interpretation of interacting geo- and biosphere processes. Deciphering the factors that led to the most severe of all mass extinction events at the end of the Permian and analyzing the preceding events that changed ecosystems on land and in the sea, is still a challenge and requires global interdisciplinary research.
