Location
The 2023 GSA Cordilleran Section Meeting will be held in Reno, Nevada, USA, a modern boomtown situated within
the Basin and Range at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Batholith. Nevada, the Silver State, got its nickname from
the historical Comstock Lode near Reno, and the state presently hosts world-class gold deposits in the Carlin
trend. Reno and the surrounding high desert have much to offer in terms of exciting nearby geology: active
faulting within the Walker Lane and Basin and Range, records for ancient glacial outburst floods and vast
pluvial lakes, abundant evidence for extrusive and intrusive igneous activity, and windows into the deep crust
within the Ruby Mountains and Snake Range metamorphic core complexes. In addition, with great and growing
geothermal resources and the only domestic lithium deposits, Nevada is pushing the green-energy revolution! Reno
offers affordable housing and abundant restaurants, bars, parks, and the Truckee River to relax in or by at the
end of the day. The program includes a diverse range of technical sessions and field trips. We hope you can join
us for an exciting meeting in Reno in May 2023!
