Objective:
The stratigraphy of the Circum-Mediterranean Neogene is a “hot” topic and several projects are currently working on a refinement of the correlations between the various Paratethyan Basins and the Mediterranean Region. These efforts led to major breakthroughs but caused also controversies and contradictions.In the interim colloquium in Vienna, overviews and syntheses of the current state of stratigraphic correlation in the Mediterranean-Paratethyan System will be presented. Contributions on oceanography, paleoclimatology and the biotic response – marine and terrestrial – in this crucial region will add information on the complexity of the Mediterranean-Paratethys paleoenvironmental system.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at the RCMNS interim colloquium and hope you will enjoy the program and generate inspiration and ideas for future scientific endeavors toward a better understanding of the Neogene Mediterranean-Paratethyan System.
Program:
The RCMNS interim colloquium 2025 in Vienna will be contributed by 32 scientific presentations.
