The presentations will include talks by Geoffrey S. Ellis (USGS, Denver) on “Geologic hydrogen: An overlooked potential primary clean-energy resource“, Jack Conrad (NASA, Marshall Space Flight Center) on “Sampling Geologic Properties of Mars’ Crust with Secondary Crater Clusters“, and Kathryn Watts (USGS, Spokane) on “Mining the Science of the Nation’s Premier Rare Earth Element Deposit at Mountain Pass, CA“. A meeting flyer is available here. The GSW will also be having a daylong field trip on Saturday, Nov. 4, which will include a stop along the falls of the James River in downtown Richmond, VA. It will probably start around 9 AM and finish around 4 PM. Further details will follow shortly.
