Final disposition of your abstract will be e-mailed to you by 31 August.

Topical Sessions

All sessions will take place at the Oregon Convention Center,
777 NE MLK, Jr. Blvd., Portland.

Invited and Volunteered Papers

These sessions are topically focused with a mix of invited and volunteered papers. Sessions are designed to promote the exchange of interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art information.

Can’t find a topical session that fits your abstract?

No problem! In addition to the topical sessions, there will be quite a few discipline categories for which you can submit an abstract. Discipline sessions are equally vital to our technical program. Please feel free to contact the JTPC member associated with your discipline if you have any questions regarding your abstract.

Sessions where Discipline Category = Limnogeology

T35. Cenozoic Lakes
GSA Limnogeology Division; GSA Sedimentary Geology Division, GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Division
Elizabeth Gierlowski-Kordesch, Broxton W. Bird, Nathan D. Stansell

Many lake deposits accumulated under the influence of divergent and convergent tectonics as well as climate changes through the Cenozoic to today. Sediment accumulation patterns from cores and outcrops will be highlighted.

Limnogeology; Sediments, Clastic; Sediments, Carbonates

T36. Living with Volcanic Lakes: Geologic and Limnologic Tools for Disaster Management
GSA Limnogeology Division; GSA Geology and Health Division
Michael Rosen, Carol Stewart

Volcanic lakes are beneficial but also have risks. This session will focus on impacts of volcanic hazards on water supplies, how abrupt changes can affect the sedimentary record of lake deposits, and how to determine recurrence intervals for hazardous events.

Limnogeology; Geology and Health; Volcanology

T40. Environmental Magnetism, Magnetic Stratigraphy, and Magnetic Field Modeling
GSA Geology and Health Division
Joseph Stoner, Bernard Housen, Catherine Louise Johnson

Magnetism provides a vast set of tools for studying Earth's environment through time. We solicit environmental magnetic, magnetic stratigraphic or magnetic field modeling contributions that focus on reconstructing Earth's environment and studying its past variability.

Paleoclimatology/Paleoceanography; Limnogeology; Planetary Geology
