The new Quaternary scale: implications and future applications

Workshop

Rome, June 17-18, Auditorium ISPRA, Via Curtatone 7 In 2009 a long international dispute has been solved about redefinition of the Quaternary status, that has involved the geological scientific community for years. The solution has brought differents changes in the chronostratigraphic scale, but finally accepted by both sides of the ‘Earth Sciences’ scientific community, IUGS and INQUA.
The aim of the workshop is to contribute to spread the adoption of the new scale and to assess its effects on different fields. The workshop is divided in 2 sessions: the first faces the chronostratigraphic implications of the scale, the second is dedicated to the study-experiences and the effects on the geological chartography, such as CARG project.
The workshop is organized with the patronage of : AIQUA, CIS, ISPRA, SGI, SPI, CNR.
