The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.

世界海道测量日

2002年,国际海道测量组织(International Hydrographic Organization,IHO)在其年会上决定向联合国申报“世界海道测量日”的庆祝活动。其目的不仅使国际海道测量组织(IHO)的目标和宗旨引起更广泛的关注,而且能大大提高人们对海道测量在日常生活中所扮演的积极和重要角色的认识。2005年11月29日,联合国会员大会通过了A/60/30号决议:欢迎IHO指定每年的6月21日为“世界海道测量日”,其目的是积极宣传IHO的各项工作,提高基于全球基础的海道测量信息的覆盖面,同时敦促所有的成员国同IHO一起,提高航行安全,尤其是国际航行地区、港口及敏感…
