GSA and GSoI Collaborations

On 6 September 2023, GSA hosted a webinar featuring Mark Little, immediate past president of GSA, Dr. Harsh Kumar Gupta, president of the Geological Society of India (GSoI), and Dr. Abhijit Mukherjee, a professor of geology and geophysics at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur and a GSA Council member. This conversation spanned major issues facing the geoscience community and ways that GSA and GSoI can work together.

GSA James B. Thompson, Jr., Distinguished International Lecturers

The award is made possible through a gift to the GSA Foundation by James B. Thompson, Jr., whose bequest contributed to the endowment of two lecture tours by distinguished geologists, one a non-North American scientist to tour academic and related institutions within North America, and the other a North American scientist to tour foreign universities and geological institutions. Both tours are arranged under the guidance of GSA International.
