HOSTED BY THE HOUSTON GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies is proud to join the Geological Society of America, the American Society of Agronomy, the Crop Science Society of America, and the Soil Science Society of America in a joint convention October 5-9, 2008. The focus of each of these groups may be different, but we each have a strong interest and base in the geosciences. The collaboration of these groups should provide a technical program and exhibit area unmatched in Houston in recent history.

3-D Visualization Technology and Methods
Gulf Coast Case Histories
Salt and Faults
Sub-Salt Environments
Deep Water Systems
Onshore Trends and Exploration
Seafloor and Shallow Mapping and Hazards

Not too late to submit abstract to GCAGS!
This year’s GCAGS annual convention (Houston, October 5-9) is going to be very different from most years. GCAGS is combined with the Geological Society of America, which has required modification of many of the usual deadlines. Despite the deadlines that are still listed on some society web sites, the last date to submit an Abstract is June 3, with full papers or extended abstracts due June 24. Don’t miss the opportunity!
Abstracts for technical presentations need to be submitted online at www.acsmeeting.org/2008.
Any questions/suggestions for the technical program or issues on abstract submission should be directed to Dr. Art Donovan, the 2008 GCAGS/GCSSEPM Annual Meeting Technical Program Chair. He can be contacted via e-mail: Art.Donovan@bp.com or by phone: 281-850-4312.
