GSA TODAY | MAY 2016 GSA2016 ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION

Welcome back to Denver

for the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America on
25–28 September. The Technical Program Committee, Division representatives,
and GSA staff are hard at work putting together the program for the meeting.
We believe the 2016 program will live up to the Society’s vision of “supporting the
global community in scientific discovery, communication, and application of
geoscience knowledge.”

With well over 200 topical sessions proposed, ranging from archaeological
geology to volcanology, GSA continues to demonstrate its relevance in the geosci-
ence community. We encourage you to submit an abstract to one of these diverse
and outstanding sessions.
Over the next few months, we will provide you with updates on the meeting, including information on
registration, travel, lodging, and programming. Keep in mind that the meeting is more than a month
earlier than last year, so deadlines are earlier as well. The Connected Community (community.geosociety
.org) is a great way to stay current with meeting information and Division business.
This year, make the best of the meeting. Come early and stay late. Sign up for one or more of the
excellent short courses or field trips, which will run before, during, and after the meeting. We look forward
to seeing you in Denver this September!
