Call for Proposals for Keynote Symposia and Topical Sessions

摘要

The 2005 GSA Annual Meeting returns across the Rockies to Salt Lake City. From Precambrian basement rocks to Quaternary sediments, from nearby Yellowstone to the Wasatch fault zone, from gold mines to water issues, the Salt Lake City area has much to spark our interests. This dynamic geologic setting reminds us of the intricate interplay between Earth and humans, and the value in sharing our science, continuing our learning, and collaborating with our colleagues. We face growing challenges and exciting opportunities, coming at a dizzying pace. How will science help in the understanding of complex earth systems and global change? How will we utilize new technologies and exchange ideas across disciplines? How do we better communicate with policy makers and respond to changing societal needs? You can play a key role in answering these and many other questions by proposing a topical session or Pardee symposium for the 2005 meeting. Help make this a meeting where we grow by exchanging a wide range of ideas. The GSA annual meeting is what YOU make it.
