Geoscience Meetings

Technical sessions, field trips, short courses, exhibits, networking opportunities, and more offer something for everyone. GSA Section Meetings present similar experiences at a more intimate regional level. Organized by member for members, these gatherings are ideal for connecting with long-standing friends and new-found colleagues.

Be part of the community that is shaping the future of earth science!

Awards for best papers and posters, coupled with mentoring programs and travel and research grants, make participation in your Section very rewarding.
