2026 GSA Cordilleran Section

Join us for the 122nd Annual Meeting of the GSA Cordilleran Section in Loreto, Baja California Sur, México, on 21-24 April 2026. Loreto is an idyllic and historic Sonoran Desert city nestled on the eastern shore of the Baja California peninsula that lies at the intersection of volcano-tectonics, marine science, and society. Baja California Sur is host to a diverse and beautiful geologic landscape that includes a rich history of accreted terranes, subduction, volcanism, rifting, marine geology, natural resources, and more that will be highlighted during several incredible field trips. The meeting venue, La Misión Hotel, is conveniently located along the malecon coastal boardwalk, at the entrance to central community civic plaza, host to Loreto's historic mission, delicious restaurants, shops, and other attractions related to Loreto's 300 year history as a regional economic and cultural center.
