Abstract
El congreso internacional GONDWANA 15 ha tenido lugar en Madrid en Julio de 2014. Como en ocasiones anteriores, el congreso tuvo como objeto del mismo el supercontinente Gondwana, desde su amalgamamiento en el Paleozoico Inferior hasta su desmembramiento en el Mesozoico Inferior. El congreso precedente (Gondwana 14) tuvo lugar en Buzios (Brasil) en Agosto de 2011. El Comité de Gondwana, que no es una entidad oficial, está constituido por científicos de diversos países y es el promotor de estos simposios, que tienen lugar cada tres años desde 1967 en diversos lugares del mundo. Este es el primero realizado en Europa.
El congreso ha abarcado todos los aspectos involucrados en la historia de Gondwana, incluyendo la geología, paleontología, paleoclimatología y los recursos. Además, el congreso ha incluído dos excursiones antes y después del mismo, a regiones clave de la geología Europea y del norte de África, así como dos breves excursiones de un único día, durante el congreso, a regiones relevantes próximas a Madrid.
El congreso tuvo lugar en los locales de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Minas de Madrid, próxima al Instituto Geológico y Minero de España.
La Universidad Complutense (UCM) junto con el IGEO (centro mixto de investigación UCM-CSIC) ha contribuído significativamente a este simposio. El comité coordinador ha estado compuesto por el Dr. César Casquet Martín (UCM, IGEO), el Dr. Juán Carlos Gutiérrez Marco (CSIC, IGEO) y el Dr. Javier Fernández Suárez (UCM, IGEO). Las dos instituciones han proporcionado diversas facilidades y se involucraron en la preparación y consecución de las excursiones.
ABSTRACT.- GONDWANA 15 international conference took place in Madrid Spain, in July 2014. As on previous occasions the conference dealt with the Gondwana supercontinent from accretion in the Early Paleozoic until break-up in the Early Mesozoic. The previous meeting (Gondwana 14) was in Buzios, Brazil, in August 2011. The unofficial Gondwana Committee formed by scientists from various countries, is the promoter of these meetings, which have taken place every three years since 1967. This is the first such meeting to have been held in Europe. The conference embraced all aspects involved in the history of Gondwana, including geology, paleontology, paleoclimate, and resources. There were also pre- and post-conference field trips to key regions of Europe and northern Africa, and short intra-conference trips to relevant areas close to Madrid. The conference was held at the Superior Technical School of Mining Engineers next to the Spanish Geological Institute. The Complutense University (UCM) and the IGEO (Instituto de Geociencias; a mixed UCM-CSIC research centre) contributed support to this symposium by providing facilities and were also thoroughly involved in the preparation and success of the field-trips. The coordination committed comprised Dr. César Casquet (IGEO, UCM), Dr. Juan Carlos Gutiérrez Marco (IGEO, CSIC) and Dr. Javier Fernández Suárez (IGEO, UCM).
