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.

cultural and industrial center included in the UNESCO World Heritage list, and its mosaic of Muslim and
Christian architecture contributes to its unique atmosphere and scenery. Kazan is easily accessible from
Europe via Frankfurt, Moscow or St. Petersburg, and its position in the center of European Russia makes it an
ideal base from which to explore a wide variety of sections and outcrops located in several adjoining districts of
Russia.

Palynological data of Permian formations of the Sub-Saharan Karoo basins play a crucial role in
the study and for the understanding of Gondwana's climate history and biodiversity in this time of
major global changes in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. 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.

XVIII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE CARBONIFEROUS AND PERMIAN
Geohost program

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.
