| About IGCP The International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) fosters interdiscipinary geoscientific research amongst researchers from around the world. IGCP Projects conduct their business through joint research work, meetings and workshops. Since its establishment in 1972, IGCP has supported nearly 500 projects. IGCP operates in about 150 countries and involves several thousands of scientists. ICGP is a joint endeavour of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). |

The history of Rheic Ocean is the key for the understanding of the geotectonic evolution of the northern margin of the Gondwana supercontinent in the period from the Neoproterozoic to the Carboniferous. All plate tectonic and orogenic processes related to the Rheic Ocean had a strong influence concerning the evolution of life and palaeoenvironment from the Late Neoproterozoic Gondwana supercontinent till the formation of Pangaea.
The goal of the project is to improve understanding of the origin and evolution of the Rheic Ocean, the closure of which produced the climactic Ouachita-Alleghanian-Variscan orogenic system of North and northern South America, Western and Central Europe, and Northwest Africa.
