Annual Report 2013 of the Working Group on Paleogene Stratigraphy of the North Pacific

In 2013 two working meetings were held in Moscow (May) and Sakhalin (October). They discussed regional stratigraphic schemes for Paleogene of Kamchatka and Sakhalin in relation to a new stage of geological mapping and stratigraphic investigations. A special attention was paid to correlations of marine and continental formations.In 2013 a monograph by Gladenkov Yu.B., Sinel’nikova V.N., Ben’yamovskii, & Fregatoba N.A. and titled  “Stratigraphy of the marine Paleocene and lower Eocene in West Kamchatka” (paleontological characteristics, Paleogeographic environments” (Moscow, Geokart-GEOS Publishers, 2013. 160 pp., in Russian) has been published. Several papers on the Paleogene were also published this year:
1. Andrey Yu. Gladenkov. – First finds of Eocene diatoms in the marine Paleogene reference section in the Il’pinskii Peninsula, northeastern Kamchatka. – Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation. 2013. V. 21 (1): 96-106
2. Andrey Yu. Gladenkov. – On a bipolar distribution of some marine diatoms in the early Oligocene. – Geology of sea and oceans: Proceedings of XX International Conference on Marine Geology. 2013. V. I. Moscow, GEOS Publishers:: 180-184 (in Russian).

5. A paper by Yu.B. Gladenkov & V.N. Sinelnikova “Stratigraphy and mollusks of the Lower Paleogene in Kamchatka and peculiarities of climatic environments” was prepared for press: (Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation – 2014, in press).
