MSA Annual Business Meeting and GSA Annual Meeting

AL
Announce list from MSA
Thu, Sep 17, 2020 7:43 PM

MSA’s Annual Business Meeting for members will be on Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 3:00 PM Eastern via Zoom.  Information on how to register for the meeting will be in the October MSA-Announce.


GSA 2020 Connects Online:  The Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America (and thus the Mineralogical Society of America) will be held virtually from October 26 - 30, 2020.  Registrationhttps://community.geosociety.org/gsa2020/registration is now open and the Early Registration Deadline is September 21, 2020.  There is free registration for student members.  GSA member pricing is available for any member of a GSA Associated Society, like MSA.  During the registration process, Associated Societyhttps://www.geosociety.org/GSA/About/Who_We_Are/Associated_Societies/GSA/About/Associated_Societies.aspx members will be required to enter their MSA Member ID number.
GSA 2020 has created a platform with a virtual lobby, auditorium, tech session rooms, Resource and Innovation Center, the GSA HQ booth, and a chat room.  Each session’s recorded videos will be available to watch ahead of time, so you may plan any questions you would like to ask during the live Q&A.  Look for more information and webinars about navigating the platform as the meeting gets closer.

MSA non-technical sessions other than the Annual Business Meeting have been canceled or delayed until GSA 2021 in Portland.  Also delayed are sessions organized in honor of the 2020 awardees.

Information on the technical sessions is onlinehttps://community.geosociety.org/gsa2020/program/technical.  However, as an aid to planning, the 70 sessions sponsored by MSA, the MGPV Division of GSA, and the Geochemical Society have been extracted here:
