Kazan Golovkinsky Young Scientists’ Stratigraphic Meeting 2025
Sedimentary Earth Systems: Stratigraphy, Geochronology,
Earth Sciences
September 22 – 24, 2025
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.
