The Commission on Global Sedimentary Geology (C-GSG), is originally known and still referred to as the Global Sedimentary Geology Program (GSGP). The overall objectives of the Commission on Global Sedimentary Geology (C-GSG) was to extend understanding of the history of the earth, surficial processes, the evolution of life, and the biotic influences on earth processes through global-scale research on sediments, sedimentary rocks and their contained organisms and remains. It was also to improve our ability to find, produce and husband natural resources in sedimentary deposits (water, hydrocarbons, minerals, ores, and building materials). And finally to expand and enhance the practice of sedimentary geology through training, exchanges, and cooperative research.Since its inception in 1987, the Commission on Global Sedimentary Geology has initiated two major research projects, the CRER Project and the Pangea Project. The CRER Project, which stands for Cretaceous Resources, Events and Rhythms, was the first project.There are five Working Groups and two Coordinating Committees for the CRER Project: WG-1 Sequence Stratigraphy and Sea-Level Change WG-2 Stratigraphy, Geochemistry, and Paleoceanography of Organic-Rich Mid-Cretaceous Sequences WG-3 Cyclostratigraphy WG-4 Carbonate Platforms WG-5 Paleogeography, Paleoclimatology, Sediment Flux CC-1 Geochronology CC-2 Data Management.
