August 24-27, 2015 (Monday-Thursday): Conference sessions (4 days oral and poster)

　　August 28-31, 2015 (Friday-Sunday): Conference fieldtrips (optional)

　　Pre-conference Workshop: 

　　ICGG-13 will arrange a pre-conference Workshop on Noble Gas Geochemistry at August 23, which was organized by the Lanzhou Center for Oil and Gas Resources, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Beijing Office. Two internationally distinguished scientists, Prof. Yuji Sano and Prof. David R. Hilton, will be the keynote speakers for the seminar. Please visit http://conf13.ic-gg.org/dct/page/70004 for detailed information. We invite everyone who is interested in it to participate it. This one-day seminar is free but it is absolutely worth full to our community. 

　　Field Trips 

　　A four-day fieldtrip is proposed to the main areas with unique geological characteristics and diverse of gases phenomena and special natural and cultural attractions of Sichuan Province including active tectonics of Tibetan Plateau and adjacent region, the spectacular earthquake surface rupture zones related to the 2008 Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, earthquake induced geological disasters and other earthquake relics in the Longmen Shan mountains, and massive travertine landscape in Songpan, as well as unique landscape from Tibetan Plateau to Sichuan Basin(Chengdu plain). We will also have chance to see an outcrop of the Cambrian black shale, one of the shale gas target in the Sichuan Basin and a hot spring monitoring site of earthquake along the Longmen Shan mountain. The field trip is about 4 days. It will begin at later afternoon of 27, August immediately after the closing ceremony and will likely end at later night of 31, August. We will back Chengdu at the night of 31, August. Please plan your trip back accordingly in case of missing the flights back. We will have a guide book soon. 

　　Memorial Session for Prof. T.F. Yang 

　　The ICGG-13 plans to organize a memorial session for our distinguished member and friend, Prof. T.F. Yang. We invite presentations for this special session. You can use your abstract submitted or a new one. Please submit your talk title as soon if you are willing to taking part in this session. 

　　Submission and registration extension 

　　Under the requirements of some colleagues, we extended the deadline for abstract submission to August 10. The website is still open for abstract submission. Any colleague who want to submit abstract, please submit as soon. We also extended the registration date for the conference and filed trip under early registration rates, and the deadline is also extended to August 10. The registration later than August 10 will not enjoy the early rates. Please register as soon from our website. 

　　All participants are kindly requested to submit their abstract and register online by August 10, 2015.  

　　Special issue on Chemical Geology 

　　The Organizing Committee is organizing a special issue on the journal of Chemical Geology.  

　　Topic of the special issue: Gas Geochemistry: from conventional to unconventional domains (here, it means three conversions for gas chemistry to unconventional natural gas resources like shale gas and tight gas, to novel technique of noble gas, as well as to non-traditional application domain like environment).  

　　We are calling potential contributions from the conference papers and delegates. Please email your potential work for this special issue including tittle, authors and affiliation to icgg13@gig.ac.cn. We will write a proposal to the journal.  

　　Invitation letter 

　　The status of the previous submitted abstract has been updated. You can check it through the website. The acceptance and invitation letters will be sent to every author recently through email. Anyone who has not received the letters, please contact me as soon.
