Message from GSA President Donald I. Siegel

I invite you to GSA’s 2019 Annual Meeting & Exposition on 22–25 September in
Phoenix, Arizona, USA. This will be an inspiring meeting and I thank all the organizers
and sponsors. It’s the 100th anniversary of the iconic geologic wonder, Grand Canyon,
becoming a U.S. National Park, and so having the meeting in Phoenix seems very appro-
priate indeed. We trust you will attend some of the 28 field trips, 200 topical sessions and
specialty lectures, and six Pardee Symposia covering the gamut of our subdisciplines and
dealing with geoscience topics ranging from applications to curiosity-driven research.
Students and young professionals will have ample opportunities to take advantage of
GSA mentoring and programs to get career advice and interview for jobs in our expanded
recruitment programs. Visit the GSA GeoCareers Center to mingle, meet mentors and
potential employers, or just find a relaxing place to discuss the meeting with friends. Indulge in the smorgas-
bord of cuisines, museums, and entertainment venues in Phoenix.
I also encourage you to attend and celebrate GSA’s awards ceremony. There, I will offer my vision of the
geosciences in a future profoundly perturbed by climate disruption. Geoscientists will have great opportunities
to contribute to how the world adapts to the changes as well as building out non-carbon and minimal carbon
emission fuels. Multidisciplinary opportunities logically should abound for those geoscientists who choose to
participate in these efforts.
