Consider these numbers:
More than 5,500 poster and oral papers…10 overarching plenary sessions on the most important topics impacting our sciences today, featuring top leaders in our fields… a full schedule with over 450 sessions of programming for five different societies… Sound intriguing?
How about: 33 field trips, scheduled before, during, and after the meeting… 7 tours in and around Houston… 38 short courses/workshops on diverse and relevant topics… more than 300 exhibitors with over 450 exhibit booths displaying and demonstrating the latest technology and research applications… Want more?
Think about nearly 10,000 scientists and students coming together in an unprecedented joint technical program featuring papers from all geological disciplines and the soil, agronomic, and crop sciences. This should prove to be the largest gathering of geoscientists this year
This adds up to one singular opportunity for you.
Come to Houston, Texas, 5-9 October 2008, to celebrate the International Year of Planet Earth. Professionals, students, and media from all over the world will find useful and valuable information at this unprecedented Joint Annual Meeting, held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, USA.
The Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies with the Gulf Coast Section of SEPM, the Geological Society of America, the Soil Science Society of America, the American Society of Agronomy, and the Crop Science Society of America have joined together to highlight and stimulate discussions in areas of common interest across the diversity of disciplines and organizations represented by our members. Areas of mutual interest include energy, water resources, education, and earth systems, to name a few. The meeting is hosted by the Houston Geological Society.
The GCAGS president’s reception has been expanded this year and it is a ticketed event to get a good head count. However, the cost is modest and the benefits are great.

IBA report for local societies |
 The local geological societies in the Gulf Coast Region, including this one, are affiliated societies of the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies (GCAGS), which doubles as the Gulf Coast Section of AAPG. You may have read in recent issues of the AAPG Explorer about the Imperial Barrel Award, named after Imperial College, London, where the concept originated. This is a competition, open not only to all AAPG Student Chapters, but any interested university with a geology/geophysics department. The premise is that each participating team (limited to one from each university) consists of up to five students, a faculty advisor, and an industry advisor/mentor. |
