Geographic Sections
GSA's six Geographic Sections have their own governance boards and organize scientific meetings in their region of North America. These smaller meetings attract many geoscience students and provide outstanding learning and networking opportunities closer to home. Sections offer travel grants not only to their own meetings but to the GSA Annual Meeting as well. Many Sections offer research grants, too.
