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.

T1. Geological Mapping: Key to Successful Management of Water and Land Resources
GSA Geology and Society Division; Association of American State Geologists; U.S. Geological Survey; British Geological Survey; GSA Geology & Public Policy Committee; International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG); Engineering Geology Division
Richard C. Berg, Holger Kessler, E. Donald McKay, H.A.J. Russell, David R. Soller, L. Harvey Thorleifson, Linda Jacobsen

This session will highlight new mapping and innovations in geological mapping, including data management, web accessibility, 3D, and applications in water and land management.

Geoscience Information/Communication; Hydrogeology; Engineering Geology

T2. Geologic Maps, Digital Geologic Maps, Geophysical Maps, and Derivatives from Geologic Maps (Posters)
GSA Geology and Society Division; GSA Structural Geology and Tectonics Division; Association of American State Geologists; U.S. Geological Survey; British Geological Survey; GSA Geology & Public Policy Committee; International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG); GSA Engineering Geology Division
Michael W. Higgins, Ralph F. Crawford, Richard Berg, Holger Kessler, E. Donald McKay, David Soller, Hazen Russell, Harvey Thorleifson, Linda Jacobsen

Almost all geoscience research is based on geologic maps. This session highlights innovations in mapping, data management, Web accessibility, 3-D, and applications in water and land management, as well as using geophysical maps for interpreting crustal features.
