GSA 2018 ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION
Advocate: Beth A. Johnson
This session addresses issues and barriers women in geology
experience and provides possible solutions and support. Included
are discussions on issues regarding recruitment and retention of
women as well as efforts to increase diversity.
T89. Using Technology to Solve Geological
Problems
Cosponsors: GSA History and Philosophy of Geology Division;
Ann Johnson Institute for Science, Technology & Society;
GSA Geoinformatics Division; GSA Environmental &
Engineering Geology Division
Disciplines: History and Philosophy of Geology, Economic
Geology, Engineering Geology
Advocates: Katherine J. Lewandowski; Allison Marsh
Engineering and technology have often proven necessary to
solve problems associated with extracting Earth resources of all
kinds. This session seeks talks looking at the intersection of
geology and technology from a historical perspective.
T91. Evolution of Paleontological Art
Cosponsors: GSA History and Philosophy of Geology Division;
History of Earth Sciences Society; Paleontological Society;
Cushman Foundation; Paleontological Research Institution;
National Earth Science Teachers Association
Disciplines: History and Philosophy of Geology, Paleontology,
Paleoecology/Taphonomy
Advocates: Renee M. Clary; Dallas Evans; Gary D. Rosenberg
Papers explore the paleontological images and reconstructions
of ancient life that document the progression of scientific thought, heat as a tracer, and cold regions hydrogeology.
including paleo art that serves as the scientific cornerstone and
the interesting but incorrect reconstructions that were ultimately
revised.
T92. Great Expectations: The Promise and Wonder of
Geology in the Heartland
Cosponsors: GSA History and Philosophy of Geology Division;
History of Earth Sciences Society; GSA Quaternary Geology and
Geomorphology Division
Disciplines: History and Philosophy of Geology, Quaternary
Geology, Economic Geology
Advocates: Michael S. Smith; John A. Diemer
The westward expanse across the Appalachian Mountains
opened new frontiers for the explorer, settler, and geologist. This
INDUSTRY TRACKS—Look for these icons, which identify sessions in the following areas:

session explores how the personalities and changing ideas of
geology addressed the challenges of geological investigation in
these new territories.
HYDROGEOLOGY
T93. Measuring and Modeling Fluxes across the Surface
Water/Groundwater Interface
Cosponsors: GSA Hydrogeology Division; GSA Karst Division
Disciplines: Hydrogeology, Environmental Geoscience
Advocates: Andrea E. Brookfield; G.L. Macpherson; Adam S.
Ward
This session encourages the submission of abstracts discussing
the measurement and modeling of fluxes of gases, solutes, and
fluids across groundwater/surface water interfaces, with an
emphasis on innovative techniques and results of unique case
studies.
T94. Water Temperatures in Surface and Subsurface
Hydrologic Systems: Controls, Applications, and Implications
Cosponsors: GSA Continental Scientific Drilling
Interdisciplinary Interest Group; GSA Karst Division; GSA
Hydrogeology Division; GSA Energy Geology Division
Discipline: Hydrogeology
Advocates: Tyler V. King; Barret L. Kurylyk; Dylan J. Irvine;
Laura K. Lautz
Focus: Field-based, big-data-driven, or modeling studies that
consider the temperature of surface and subsurface hydrologic
systems. Potential topics: Groundwater–surface water interac-
tions, novel field techniques, thermal projections, ecohydrology,
T95. Climate Variability, Change, and Water Resources
Cosponsors: GSA Hydrogeology Division; GSA Karst Division;
GSA Limnogeology Division; GSA International Interdisciplinary
Interest Group
Disciplines: Hydrogeology, Environmental Geoscience,
Geochemistry
Advocates: Randy L. Stotler; David L. Rudolph
Changes to the hydrologic cycle due to increasing climate vari-
ability are affecting water quantity and quality. Submissions
describing and predicting the effects of climate change on water
resources, and/or mitigation strategies, are encouraged.
