Something for Everyone at the Geological Society of America Meeting in Little Rock
The Geological Society of America South-Central Section is hosting their 52nd annual meeting on March 12-13, 2018 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Conference organizers put out a call for presentations, and the deadline to submit an abstract is December 5, 2017.
The program will include a wide range of topics including sessions about the intersection of geology and water quality and availability. For example, there will be sessions on groundwater resources, karst hydrogeology, geologic drivers of water quality, drinking water, and more. To submit an abstract, visit the conference website.
There’s also an opportunity for students to participate. There’s a poster session for undergraduate students working in any area of geosciences. The student must submit an abstract with a faculty mentor listed as co-author.
In addition to the technical sessions, the conference organizers have planned several field trips and workshops as part of the conference activities. Participants have the opportunity to experience and learn about some of the natural springs, national parks, and beautiful lakes of Arkansas, and even search for diamonds (and keep what you find)! The workshops include training for high school and higher education faculty, geological mapping, and basic seismic attributes.
The conference is scheduled for March 12-13, 2018, at the Little Rock Marriot in Little Rock, Arkansas. Field trips and workshops take place before and after the meeting. Visit the conference website for more information about the technical sessions and other meeting activities.
