A newly established International Union of Geological                      Sciences Commission on Global Sedimentary Geology has initiated as              its first project a study of Cretaceous Resources, Events and                   Rhythms (CRER).  The Cretaceous Period offers special                           opportunities to understand global processes and their variations.                                                                                                   It was a time of pronounced eustatic change and oceanic                    anoxia.  Its sediments record Milankovitch rhythms and the                      development and demise of carbonate platforms.  It is a turning                 point in the evolution of life, and its deposits include vast                   amounts of natural resources including oil and gas, coal,                       phosphorite, bauxite, kaolinite and manganese ores.  To implement               this pilot project, a series of five workshops is planned in                    Europe for 1988, each corresponding to one of the working groups                within the CRER project:  (1) sequence stratigraphy and sea level               change, (2) sedimentation in oxygen-deficient oceans, (3) cyclo-                stratigraphy, (4) development and demise of carbonate platforms,                and (5) paleogeography, paleoclimatology, and sediment flux.                    Following these workshops, a general workshop will take place near              Digne, France, to provide overall coordination for this project.                                                                                                     An Interim U.S. Program Committee for the Global Sedimentary               Geology Program (GSGP) has been established by the Society of                   Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists (SEPM), under whose                  auspices GSGP was initially developed.  This committee has the                  responsibility of ensuring adequate participation of U.S.                       scientists in Project CRER.  This project represents support for                the travel of key U.S. personnel to the planned workshops in                    Europe.
