GEOLOGY AND SOCIETY DIVISION SPONSORED EVENTS
GSA CONNECTS 2021
Portland, Oregon
Geology and Society Division sponsors and co-sponsors (often in tandem with the Geology and Public Policy Committee) a number of Technical sessions, Pardee Symposia, Noon-Time Lectures, and short courses. Interested in presenting at one of our Division sponsored sessions? Your abstract submittals are always welcome. Here is a convenient link: https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2021AM/cfp.cgi. Note that the submittal deadline is July 20th 11:59 PM.
The following is a list of Division and GPPC (co)sponsored sessions and events. You’ll find a variety of topics pertaining to climate change, natural hazards, environmental matters, geoworkforce, education and outreach, mineral, energy and water resource issues.
