Thanks for a great GSA 2017

Hi Everyone,

The GSA Geobiology & Geomicrobiology Division Executive Committee would like to say a hearty "THANK YOU" for making this past GSA annual meeting in Seattle such a success. The number of GBGM talks skyrocketed this year and (as is often the case), it was standing room only for the awards luncheon.

Below are some photos of the awards lunch.

Session Proposal
Call for Topical and Pardee Keynote Session proposals: 
The deadline is less than two weeks away: Wednesday, 1 February.
 
It’s time to plan for our 2017 Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington. GSA is excited to head back to the Pacific Northwest. Our 2009 meeting in Portland, Oregon, attracted nearly 6,500 attendees from over 50 countries, so our 2017 meeting should be international, well attended, and full of excitement! A highlight will be the Seattle-area geology: glaciation, deposition, tectonics, crustal deformation, unconformities, erosion, bedrock structures, and drumlins. We challenge you to propose a technical session and/or a short course that will teach your colleagues and promote discussion about the incredible regional geology. Visit our Technical Session Proposals website for more information, and to submit your Topical or Pardee Keynote Session Proposal.
