Warren Hamilton Field Trip Applicants

Discuss how the Field Trip will aim to address unresolved geological problems of global significance in a broad, multidisciplinary way, including exploring novel or unconventional hypotheses. The proposal should also explain how the field trip will be organized to foster participation of graduate students and early career scientists and facilitate their discussion in the field. The trip leader should be qualified to lead such a trip per their biography and experience. If selected, 4-8 Students or Early Career Professionals will receive funding to participate in your trip.

A Message from GSA's Executive Director

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, GSA is committed to the ideals of scientific discovery, rigor, diversity and integrity.

I invite you to prepare a proposal for a technical session for the 2020 Annual Meeting that reflects your expertise and research but also pushes the boundaries of the discipline. Without expanding our horizon we will not move the geosciences forward and keep our relevance. I challenge you to also broaden your reach with whom you collaborate by including diversity in all ways — discipline, career progression, and individuals.

Thank you for considering sharing your science and work at the GSA Annual Meeting.
