Boulder, Colo., USA: Students, early-career professionals, professionals, and retirees will come together online for a robust meeting of technical sessions, virtual field trips, and short courses. Technical session subjects include the evolution of the Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains; volcanic centers that pepper the length of the American Cordillera; processes that influence the mobility, form, and toxicity of organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic systems; mining in the Rocky Mountain and Cordilleran regions; and a tribute to geoscientist Francis C.
