GSA 2020 Southeastern/Northeastern Joint Section Meeting

Hyatt Regency Reston

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Deadline: 1 June 2019

We are excited to announce the GSA 2020 Southeastern and Northeastern Joint Section Meeting will be held in Reston, Virginia, USA. A planned community designed for pedestrians, Reston is located outside of Washington, D.C., and is situated at the Fall Zone and the transition from the southern to the central Appalachians. The area is rich with interesting historical, cultural, and geologic attractions: the Great Falls of the Potomac are only 20 minutes from the Meeting, the Smithsonian National Museums are only 40 minutes away, and numerous bistros, restaurants, and shopping on a safe pedestrian mall are just out the door of the Hyatt Regency Reston.

For this Meeting, we are seeking proposals for Technical Sessions, Symposia, Field Trips, Short Courses, and Workshops that encompass the breadth of eastern geology from tectonics of the Appalachian orogen to coastal geology, from groundwater and hydrogeology to landscape evolution, geology and public policy, and much more.

Proposal submissions must include:

  • Title of Session/Field Trip/Short Course/Workshop
  • Principal organizer (name, affiliation, and email)
  • Co-organizers (names, affiliations, and emails), if applicable
  • Identification of proposal as Theme Session, Symposium, Field Trip, Short Course, or Workshop
  • Preference for format (oral or poster), if applicable
  • Short description (50 words or fewer)

Please submit your proposal electronically, or email your submissions to the appropriate Chair(s) listed below.

Thank you for your ideas; we look forward to seeing you in Reston in 2020.
