4th International Geoscience Symposium “Precambrian World 2017”
March 3 - 10, 2017 Fukuoka, JAPAN
The mystery and beauty of the evolution of the Earth system through 4.6 billion years’ history, in particular the co-evolution of surface environments and biosphere on the early Earth, has fascinated many scientists of diverse disciplines. Despite significant advances in Earth system science, there remain many unanswered questions. Although not always directly applicable, understanding the evolution of the Earth system in younger (e.g., Phanerozoic) times, as well as the causes and consequences of major, non-uniformitarian events that greatly impacted the Earth system, allow us to advance our knowledge of early Earth’s evolution.
Based on the highly successful “Precambrian World” held in 2009, we aim to convene the symposium again, as “Precambrian World 2” in Fukuoka, March 3 to 9, 2017. The purpose of the symposium is (1) to bring together international experts from diverse disciplines to discuss recent progress related to the evolution of the Earth system throughout its history, and (2) to provide opportunities to participants to exchange ideas, aiming at future collaborations. Although we use the term “Precambrian” in the symposium title, non-Precambrian topics are also well within the scope of the symposium as they help us to understand ancient and future Earth systems.
