The Geological Society of America annual meeting is one of the largest scientific gatherings of geologists each year, and the Ohio University Geological Sciences Department historically sends a large contingent of students and faculty to showcase their research.
This year the GSA meeting is online from Oct. 26-30, but departmental participation is still strong, with department members, including four graduate students and six faculty members, participating in seven presentations.
