The aims of the Berriasian WG are:
- to foster publications on the Berriasian as part of the standard global stratigraphic time scale,
- to contribute to the unification of regional chronostratigraphic nomenclature by organizing and documenting stratigraphic units,
- the dissemination of stratigraphic knowledge about the Berriasian Stage and the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary interval,
- the evaluation of new stratigraphic methods and their integration into a multidisciplinary stratigraphy,
- to refine and improve correlations between Tethys, Gondwana, Pacific, boreal and non-marine regions,
- the selection of a GSSP for the base of the Berriasian Stage.
