HOSTED BY

THE HOUSTON GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The Houston Geological Society is proud to host the 58^th GSAGC/GCSSEPM convention. We need your help to continue the long tradition of presenting the best in geoscience from the Gulf Coast & around the world.  Our theme of “Regional Focus – Global Vision” recognizes the fact we may concentrate our activities on the Gulf Coast, what we do and how we do it translates to virtually every sedimentary basin in the world.  The Transactions are not only the primary reference for Gulf Coast geoscientists; but the techniques described in each volume are implemented globally.  We want you to be part of that tradition by submitting an abstract for an oral or poster presentation at GCAGS Houston 2008.
