Chibanian GSSP Golden Spike - Installation Ceremony in Ichihara, Japan
21 May 2022, 14:00 JST (07:00 CEST)

21.05.22 is a proud day for the international scientific community and especially for the International Union of Geological Sciences, the IUGS. The placement of the Golden Spike in the Chiba Section today marks the culmination of extensive studies of sites in Japan, Italy, and other countries by multi-disciplinary teams of geoscientists. The voting members of the Subcommission of Quaternary Stratigraphy evaluated these investigations and approved the proposal for the section at Chiba to define the base of the Chibanian Stage that represents the Chibanian Age of the Pleistocene Epoch and Quaternary Period of the Geologic Time Scale.

Hutton series on climate change: Final Report
Prof. John Ludden (IUGS president) has been leading a series of workshops in identifying ten priorities for tackling climate change. This was undertaken in Panmure House, Edinburgh, the home of Adam Smith the economist. James Hutton the famous geologist worked with Smith and the series is named the Hutton Series and follows an Enlightenment style debate which brings together science and engineering, business and government and the concerned public. The outputs are in a final report. We hope that the actions will be implemented and we expect IUGS as a geoscience organisation to contribute to thinking about how we as geoscientists will underpin the energy transition.
