Overall Information
The Czech Stratigraphic Commission website was set up to report on the Commission and its activities and to report on stratigraphy to geologists and the public.
The Czech Stratigraphic Commission already has a long history linked in particular to the name of the legendary Czech stratigrapher and its long-time chairman – Prof. Ivo Chlupáč. The status and mission of the Czech Stratigraphy Commission as an independent national expert and referee panel on stratigraphy issues is directly linked to the work of the International Commission on Stratigraphy and is based on the World Stratigraphic Guide (El Salvador 1994 and 2013). The mission of the Czech Stratigraphic Commission is to supervise compliance with the international stratigraphic code and stratigraphic breakdown in the Czech Republic and to make this information available to the general public. Where the regional geological particularities of our territory do not permit the use of international stratigraphic subdivisions, the Commission oversees the correct application of regional stratigraphic subdivisions.
