GSA 2020 Annual Meeting & Exposition
Call for Short Course
and Technical Session Proposals
It’s time to plan for our 2020 Annual Meeting in Montréal, Québec,
Canada. We look forward to highlighting the geology in the area.
We challenge you to propose a short course and/or a technical
session that will teach your colleagues and promote discussion
about the incredible regional geology.
Exchange the geology by organizing and chairing a
Technical Session.
Technical Session deadline: 1 Feb. 2020
Proposals are being taken for both Pardee Symposia and Topical
Sessions.

A MESSAGE FROM THE GSA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Colleagues,
GSA is committed to the ideal of scientific discovery,
rigor, diversity, and integrity.
I invite you to prepare a proposal for a technical session
for the 2020 Annual Meeting that reflects your expertise
and research but also pushes the boundaries of the disci-
pline. Without expanding our horizon, we will not move the
geosciences forward and keep our relevance. I also chal-
lenge you to broaden your reach with whom you collabo-
rate by including diversity in all ways—discipline, career
progression, and individuals.
Thank you for considering sharing your science and
work at the GSA Annual Meeting.
Vicki S. McConnell
