Sediments, Structures, Shores, and Storms: Keeping a Keen Eye on Eastern
Geology
Boulder, Colo., USA: The 2023 joint meeting of the 72nd annual meeting of
the Southeastern Section and 58th annual meeting of the Northeastern
Section of the Geological Society of America will be held in Reston,
Virginia, USA, on 17–19 March. We are pleased to announce a robust and
diverse technical program that links the geology of the southeastern and
northeastern U.S. and examines many key issues, including sea-level rise;
climate and environmental change; energy and critical minerals; and
diversity, equity, and inclusion in the geosciences. The meeting has many
opportunities for students
. Special tributes are planned for A. Conrad Neumann and William A. “Bill”
Thomas.
The meeting offers
short courses
in applied micropaleontology, stormwater management in karst terrain,
integrating ESRI mobile, online and desktop GIS for field data
acquisitions, and an essential guide to luminescence dating.
Field trips
will explore the Piedmont geology and the Civil War at North Anna River
fall zone, Virginia; tectonic evolution of the northern Shenandoah massif,
Virginia; Cretaceous and Paleocene fossiliferous sediments of Cabin Branch
and Tinkers Creek, Maryland; and a visit to Capitol Hill.

The Geological Society of America (GSA) unites a diverse community of
geoscientists in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet (and
beyond) and share scientific findings. Members and friends around the
world, from academia, government, and industry, participate in GSA
meetings, publications, and programs at all career levels, to foster
professional excellence. GSA values and supports inclusion through
cooperative research, public dialogue on earth issues, science education,
and the application of geoscience in the service of humankind.
