| Popis: | Introduction. The European Palaeobotany and Palynology Conference is held every 4 years. At meetings and seminars of the conference, a wide range of scientific problems related to taxonomy of ancient plants, morphology, nomenclature, as well as the latest results of paleobotanical and palynological research are represented, ways of using them for stratigraphic constructions, paleogeographic, including paleoclimatic reconstructions, and the study of archaeological monuments are discussed. Formulation of the problem. A necessary aspect of today’s scientific research in Ukraine is the integration of the research results of Ukrainian scientists into the world scientific space. An important component in the implementation of this direction is the active participation of scientists in international projects and the presentation of research results at international professional conferences. The presented publication is devoted to an overview of one of these forums. Formulation of the purpose of the article. The main purpose of the article is to highlight the latest directions of the modern stage of paleobotanical and palynological research of the world scientific community, which were represented at the 11th European paleobotanical – palynological conference, as well as the characteristics of the scientific results of Ukrainian scientists, which was presented at this forum. Presenting main material. The 11th European Conference on Paleobotany and Palynology was held in Stockholm on June 19-22, 2022. The conference was jointly organized by the Swedish Museum of Natural History and Stockholm University. The head of the organizing committee and event coordinator was Professor Vivi Vaida. The conference gathered more than 240 delegates from 44 countries of the world, which proves the authority of the conference and the exit of EPPC beyond Europe to the international level. More than 180 oral scientific presentations and about 70 poster presentations were presented during the plenary and sectional meetings. The organizers of the conference condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the support of the Ukrainian scientific community and the people of Ukraine was felt at all stages of the conference preparation. Main scientific directions of symposia work. Work during the conference took place in 35 scientific symposia of various topics, covering almost all modern aspects of paleobotany and palynology. The article provides a general description of the latest research that was discussed at the conference. Achievements of Ukrainian scientists represented at the conference. In total, scientists from Ukraine presented 2 oral reports – O. A. Shevchuk (The first Cretaceous megaspores from Ukraine) and D. O. Pustovoitova (History of palynological research of Mesozoic deposits in Ukraine) and 6 posters – O. A. Shevchuk (Paleobotanical research in Ukraine); O. A. Sirenko (Changes in the vegetation of Ukraine in the Gelasian time (by palynological data)); A. B. Ivanina, A. О. Myronova (Standardized characteristics of the Geminospora extensa Zone from the Givetian of western Ukraine); V. Р. Grytsenko and O. A. Shevchuk (On the collections of fossil plant and algae in the geological department of the National Museum of Natural History at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine); A. I. Martyshyn, O. A. Shevchuk (Taphonomy of tubular fossils (algae) from the deposits of the Late Ediacaran of Ukraine); N. I. Boyarina (The collection of the late Carboniferous plant fossils of the Donets Bassin in the Institute of Geological Sciences of NAS of Ukraine: general review). The scientific reports presented concerned various aspects of paleobotanical and palynological research: historical, taphonomic, stratigraphic, paleogeographic and paleoclimatic reconstructions, review of paleobotanical collections and problems of their storage in modern military conditions. The presented materials covered the results of the study of micro- and macro-plant remains from rocks of all subdivisions of the Phanerozoic (Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic), as well as the Neoproterozoic (Ediacaran). Conclusions. At the conference, during the plenary and sectional meetings, considerable attention was paid to the results of research devoted to climate changes and their impact on the biota of high latitudes in the past, as well as reconstructions of the paleogeographic conditions of the formation of deposits of different ages, especially Holocene. Attention is focused on the need to develop new research methods, in particular 3D modeling of paleontological objects, popularization of paleobotany and palynology achievements, preservation of paleontological monuments, interaction of amateur paleontologists with professional paleontologists and scientific institutions and organizations. |
