How Grand Canyon was made?

   The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona, EUA. It is 446 km long, up to 29 km wide and attains a depth of over a 1800 meters.

   Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration.

STRATI 2013, Lisbon - First International Congress on Stratigraphy

   It is with pleasure that the Organizing Committee announces the 1stInternational Congress on Stratigraphy (STRATI 2013), to be held in Lisbon, 1–7 July 2013.

   This congress follows the decision to internationalize the conferences previously organized by the French Committee of Stratigraphy (STRATI), the last one of which was held in Paris in 2010. Thus, the congress possesses both the momentum gained from an established conference event and the excitement of being the first International Congress on Stratigraphy. It is being held under the auspices of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (IUGS), and it is envisaged that this first congress will lead to others being held in the future.

  Stratigraphy is a geoscience specialism that involves numerous researchers and practitioners worldwide and has many applications, with growing importance in scientific, technological, economic, and environmental fields. The Organizing Committee welcomes all interested parties to this event and intends to hold a congress of high scientific quality in a friendly and professional environment.
