The Sedimentary Geology Division exists to serve sedimentary geologists in a number of ways. Especially important are Division-sponsored symposia, theme sessions, short courses, and field trips that are offered at each national GSA meeting and at most sectional meetings as well. We provide financial support to students in the form of competetive research grants (offered under the GSA student grants program) and generous refunds offered to all student members attending Division-sponsored short courses and field trips. Our representatives to GSA's Joint Technical Program Committee help ensure a continued active presence for sedimentary-related topics and sessions at the national GSA meetings.
MESSAGE TO DIVISION MEMBERS: After a series of discussions over the past year, the SGD Management Board is proposing some changes to the Division bylaws that are intended to: bring the bylaws up to date with current practices; change the structure and timing of officer elections; and reflect changes in the way that news will be distributed in the future (if approved). Here is a pdf file of the proposed changes. Please look them over and vote on whether or not to approve these changes. All members will be sent instructions to access an online ballot.
