Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The GSA abstracts submissions deadline is coming up on July 12th and we encourage you to submit an abstract to T227. Time Matters: Celebrating the Scientific Legacy of Samuel A. Bowring at http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2016/sessions/topical.asp.
We have three wonderful keynote speakers: Kirk Johnson, Paul Hoffman and Randy van Schmus. We're working hard to help Sam get there for the symposium so come out and help us honor him.
In his EarthTime program and throughout his career, Samuel A. Bowring made a reality of the vision that precise U-Pb geochronology could elucidate the processes responsible for crustal development and faunal evolution. His discovery and elucidation of the world’s oldest crustal rocks, his mass-extinction chronologies for the basal Cambrian, Triassic and Jurassic periods, and his long-standing interest in arcs, batholiths, and continental crust have added immeasurably to our understanding of Earth history.
On behalf of the conveners,
Robert S. Hildebrand
