PREFACE ―Short papers for the 8 th International Congress on the Jurassic System―Marine and non-marine Jurassic The International Congress on the Jurassic System, held once every four years, provides Jurassic experts, students, and amateurs from around the world a chance to present their recent achievements and research results to the international geosciences community. The Jurassic spans from 200 to 145 Ma, and topics dealt with at the congress include the geology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, palaeobiology, palaeogeography, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology, sedimentology, geochemistry, palaeomagnetism, tectonics, astronomic geology, and mineral and energy resources of this geologic period. Participants contribute to science, technology, philosophy, geosciences education, and geoheritage protection. Research results presented at the congress have a bearing on the Earth’s future, and the international collaborations fostered by the congress will contribute to deepening our understanding of global change. The 8 th International Congress on the Jurassic System will take place in China in August of 2010. China is a country whose Jurassic lithology records Tethyan, subboreal, and Pacific events. To showcase major research achievements in global marine and non-marine Jurassic geosciences, in particular those of the last four years, we have compiled this special issue of Earth Science Frontiers (China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University), under the banner of “Short papers for the 8 th International Congress on the Jurassic System―Marine and non-marine Jurassic”. A total of 183 articles submitted, dealing with the following eight fields: 1) Marine and non-marine Jurassic boundaries and stratotypes; 2) Biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, isotopic stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and cyclostratigraphy of the Jurassic; 3) Biodiversity and evolution of Jurassic life; 4) Depositional facies, palaeogeography, palaeoenvironment and ecosystem reconstruction; 5) Jurassic palaeoclimate and palaeo-atmospheric CO2; 6) Major biological and geological events of the Jurassic; 7) Mineral and energy resources of Jurassic deposits; 8) Jurassic geoparks and museums: Their roles in geological heritage protection and public education. This special issue is a contribution to the 8 th International Congress on the Jurassic System and UNESCO-IUGS International Geoscience Program IGCP 506. Besides the sponsors, organizers and co-organizers, it was also made possible by support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, PRC, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2006FY120400, 40632010, 40872013, 40872016, 40972008, KZCX2-YW-154). We heartily thank Dr. Noel J. Morris from the British Museum of Natural History, executive editor Prof. Wang Xiaolong and assistant editor Chen Siwei for their kind assistance in editing and compiling this issue. We would like to thank our graduate students, doctoral degree students Wang Yaqiong, Zhang Xiaolin, Tian Ning, and Jiang Zikun, and master degree student Peng Bo, all from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for their organization, compiling, and editing assistance, and Prof. Paul L. Smith from the University of British Columbia, Canada for generously undertaking a critical reading of the preface. We express our sincere thanks to all of the authors who contributed to this special issue. Jingeng Sha (Chairman of the Organizing Committee)
