Get Involved
The geoscience community is stronger when its members show up—not just as participants, but as contributors, leaders, and champions of the science. However you choose to engage, GSA has a place for you to grow, give back, and make a lasting impact.
Nominate or Volunteer for Service
GSA is a member-led organization—and that means your involvement matters. Nominate yourself or a colleague for a committee or council position and help guide the Society’s direction. Self-nominations are encouraged, and opportunities exist for members at every career stage, including students and early-career professionals.
Deadline: 17 August 2026
