The Jurassic period (200~145 Ma) witnessed a number of important geological, geographical, climatological, biological and metallogenical events happened globally.
During the Jurassic, China and environs as a domain was bordered by the western palaeo-Pacifc in east and by the Tethys in west, and it was connected to Russia in north and located at the junction between the western palaeo-Pacific and northeastern Tethys. The Jurassic rocks of China and environs are therefore the largest geological body which has recorded various geological events happened in the Tethyan, subboreal and palaeo-Pacific realms both in marine and non-marine systems.
The International Jurassic Congress is an international scientific forum on the Jurassic held once every four years sponsored by the International Subcommittee on the Jurassic System. The Jurassic experts and students from around the world gather together to present their recent work and research results on the topics of geology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, palaeobiology, palaeogeography, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology, sedimentology, geochemistry, palaeomagnetism, tectonics, astronomic geology, and mineral and energy resources, as well as ideas on geosciences education and geoheritage protection, to predict the Earth's future, and to discuss the international collaborations focus on such issues as challenges of global change.
