Coronavirus Update

GSA continues to monitor the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Our goal is to deal with the challenges of
COVID-19 as proactively, thoroughly, and thoughtfully as we can. The safety and well-being of our com-
munities across the United States, and the entire globe, remain our highest priorities.

The information in this publication is current as of press time; however, we are evaluating the feasibility
of hosting the GSA 2020 Annual Meeting in Montréal, Québec, Canada, and considering alternatives, such
as a virtual format.

Opening of the abstracts submission system, housing, and registration have been pushed back to 1 July to
give everyone involved as much time as possible to gauge how circumstances are developing with regard to
closures, travel restrictions, and so forth.

We encourage you to visit the annual meeting website (https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2020/) for
updates. If you have questions or concerns about the meeting, contact meetings@geosociety.org.
