Dear colleagues:

               As a part of IGCP-476 activity, Drs. Clift, Zheng, and 

myself is convening a special symposium titled  gMonsoons and the  
Himalaya: tectonics-climate and land-ocean linkages h (SS1-2) in 17th 

International Sedimentological Congress [ISC] in Fukuoka Japan, which 

will be held from August 27th to September 1st.  Registration of ISC  
<http://www.isc2006.com/>  already started and registration deadline  
for field trips, short courses, and workshops is 31st of January, and 

deadline for abstract submission is 28th of February.  Our symposium  
(SS1-2) will be tentatively scheduled on 1st of September so that  
participants can move to 4th International Meeting of IGCP-476 which  
will be held in Busan, Korea from 3 to 5 of September (tentative).
               In the symposium, we hope to update our knowledge on  
uplift and erosion histories of Himalaya, Tibet, and Tien Shan, their 

relation with monsoon evolution, and its impact on paleoceanography and
 
sedimentation in continental margin and marginal seas in Asia based on 

analyses of terrestrial and marine sedimentary records.

               If you are interested in the special symposium and have 

topics suitable for our symposium theme, your participation is welcome.
 
   We will also appreciate if you can circulate this information to
your  
colleagues who may have their interest in the theme.
  	     In case you will submit the abstract to our special
symposium  
SS1-2, please let Tada <ryuji at eps.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp>  know about your  
submission and titles.

               As to subsequent Busan Meeting, its tentative title is 

 gMonsoon, Tectonics, Paleoclimate, and Paleoceanography in the East  
Asia and its Marginal Seas h and will be composed of 3 sessions; S1:  
Monsoon and Tectonics: Evolution and Linkage, S2: Monsoon and  
Sediments: Land-Sea Interaction, S3: Monsoon and Environment: Past,  
Present and Future.  We will circulate more information on the Busan  
Meeting soon.

	     Below, I show call for papers mail from 2006 ISC for your 

information.

with best wishes,

[http://www.isc2006.com]. We cordially invite you to attend the  
Congress and submit abstracts to technical sessions. There will be 57 

sessions covering a wide area of topics in sedimentology: from the  
study of depositional systems to hazard, resource, and environmental  
sedimentology.  The featured Tsunami Symposium will be held on the  
first day of the Congress. The Opening Ceremony will feature a series 

of Special Lectures by distinguished Asian sedimentologists, and a  
Presidential Address and a Lecture by a 2006 Sorby Medalist will be  
held at the General Assembly on August 31.  We will offer 36 field  
trips in Japan, the Taiwan islands, and the Korean Peninsula. You can
