This is a reminder and a final invitation to
participate in the
sessions on Appalachian Tectonics at the joint meeting of the
Northeastern and
North Central Sections of GSA March 19-21, 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA. A full day of sessions is
planned, with an
emphasis on the northern Appalachians.
Info on these two sessions is available on the GSA website
for the NE/NC
meeting as sessions # 48 and #49
(http://geosociety.org/Sections/ne/2017mtg/techprog.htm).
One session will feature structural geology and
tectonics,
while the other features petrology, geochemistry and geochronology
with obvious
overlap between the two. We encourage you to participate and
welcome oral and
poster presentations. If
you have
students planning on presenting a poster at the meeting with
topics in the
Appalachians, please consider having them submit to one of these
sessions.
The abstract deadline
is January 3,
2017. We are
looking forward to
your joining us for an exciting day of Appalachian tectonics.
