Dolomites - Field trip to the World Heritage Site of the Tethyan Triassic
September 5-10, 2010, Dolomites, Southern Alps, Italy
The second circular of the 7th International Triassic Field Workshop is finally out. You can download it from below. All the website has been updated with new informations about the Field Trip in the Dolomites contained in the 2nd circular.
The 7th International Triassic Field Workshop is dedicated to visit the classical localities of the Triassic of the Dolomites, after their inscription in the Word Heritage List as serial natural property. On June 26th, 2009 the Dolomites have been inscribed in the WHL because of their exceptional beauty and unique landscape, but also for their scientific importance from the geological and geomorphological point of views (criteria vii and viii). In particular, the criterion viii (to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features), is strictly related to the geological importance of the Dolomites for the Triassic as summarized by the motivation given by the World Heritage Committee in Seville (Spain).
