GSA members are invited to comment on the draft of a new position statement: Ethics of Responsible Geologic Fieldwork. The comment period runs through 15 Feb. 2022.
GSA Council recently approved a major revision to the Water Resources position statement, now entitled Water Resources: Quantity. Minor revisions to three statements were also approved: Supporting Planetary Exploration, Teaching Evolution, and Rewarding Professional Contributions in the Public Spheres. GSA members are encouraged to use the statements as geoscience communication tools when interacting with policymakers, students, colleagues, and the general public.
