Annual Spring Meeting
Friday April 27, 2012
Macy Center, New Mexico Tech, Socorro, NM
Abstract Deadline: Friday Feb. 17

Every spring, the Society holds a meeting in Socorro to allow presentation of geoscience research from New Mexico and adjacent areas. This event is always well attended and is a great way to meet other researchers and students working in New Mexico. During the meeting luncheon, several Society scholarships are awarded to students from New Mexico.

Student participation is highly encouraged as this meeting provides an excellent venue for student presentations. Oral and poster sessions will focus on the geology, hydrology, stratigraphy, paleontology, and geophysics of New Mexico and adjacent areas.  Abstracts are solicited from all geoscience disciplines.

2012 Meeting Details

Purpose: Presentation of geoscience research from New Mexico and adjacent areas.

When: April 27, 2011 (registration opens at 7:30 AM, meeting begins at 8:00 AM)

Where: Macey Center, New Mexico Tech campus, Socorro, NM

Special Theme: "Evaluating How Continental Sedimentary Basins Fill: Development and Preservation of Sedimentary Successions"

Preliminary Program Available

Call For Papers (Abstract Deadline PAST)

Our theme session will explore the dynamics of continental sedimentary basins, including tectonism and climate, with a focus on how sedimentary successions develop and are preserved in the rock record.

Other sessions will include a Geochemistry/Hydrology session, a Tectonics/Volcanics session and a general potpourri session which will include sedimentology presentations not included in the theme session, as well as paleontology, mineralogy and other concepts. The poster session this year is limited due to the space available, so please consider presenting your topic as an oral presentation.

Abstracts must be submitted in GSA style  (see our Guidelines for presenters for more information).  Abstracts are limited to 2000 characters (excluding spaces) and should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in MS Word format. Please specify in your e-mail message if you would like to present your work orally or as a poster presentation. Student authors who wish to be considered for $100 awards for best student oral presentation or best student poster presentation must notify the co-chair with their abstract submission.

We look forward to seeing all of you in April! Please email abstracts to Kate Zeigler or Dave Love.

Registration

Online registration is available until 1:00 PM on Tuesday, April 24. After that, you can register on-site.
