Part VII IGCP 379 Seminar ,Oct. 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ADVANCED SEMINAR IGCP 379 KARST PROCESSES AND THE CARBON CYCLE Date: Oct. 5-15, 1998 Venue: The Institute of Karst Geology, Guilin, China Host: The Karst Dynamics Laboratory, MGMR ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Karst Dynamics Laboratory will host an 11 day IGCP 379 (UNESCO/IUGS) and the KDL funded Advanced Seminar on KARST PROCESSES AND THE CARBON CYCLE for international audience. The objective of the Seminar is to bring together scientists interested in karst processes with those interested in carbon cycle and global change. The Seminar will consist of a series of lectures, discussions, and field demonstrations in the Guilin Karst Experimental Site and some caves near Guilin. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Dreybrodt, who is a distinguished physist and geochemist from Bremen University of Germany, will give lectures on carbonate chemistry, dissolution kinetics and cave development. Prof. Daoxian Yuan (leader of IGCP 379 and the director of the KDL), Dr. Zaihua Liu, Dr. Bin Li and Dr. Zhongchen Jiang, will give lectures on global karst, carbon cycle related to karst, paleoenvironment reconstruction, and element movement relevant to karst ecology respectively. Field activities will include one day visit in the Guilin Karst Experimental Site (mainly visiting the observation sites to reveal karst processes and the relevant carbon cycle, such as soil CO2 observation site, limestone denudation observation site, and spring discharge-chemistry observation site), one day sightseeing along Li River by boat and by bus, and one day visit in Fengyu Cave, a very famous tourism cave, about 100 km away from Guilin. We are looking forward to your participation, and your lectures on karst are also warmly welcome. All travel, accommodation and subsistence costs will be met by the participants. There will be small amount of funding from the IGCP 379 and the KDL to support some participants' registration fee or accomodation during the Seminar. However, we are not able to support with your international fare. If anybody need such support, please contact me. The Seminar will take place between October 5th and October 15th, 1998.
