An international meeting devoted to all aspects of Carboniferous-Permian geology with special emphasis on the Carboniferous-Permian transition was held between May 20-22, 2013 in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. This meeting was organized with great success by Spencer G. Lucas. We appreciate for his great efforts for this meeting. More than 50 participants attended the meeting.
