We invite proposals for Pardee symposia, topical sessions, special sessions, and short courses for the 2012 GSA meeting in Charlotte. We aim to develop a meeting that showcases the importance of investing in the geological sciences, both today and in the future. We are particularly interested in receiving symposia, session proposals, and workshops that highlight relevant geoscience education research at the K-16 level. This is your opportunity to showcase your work to a national and international audience and learn from others in the process!

Financial incentives are available for meeting attendees, especially those in K-12 geoscience education.

Deadline for Technical Session Proposals: Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Help ensure that your area of geoscience education research and expertise is represented in next year's technical program. Individuals, groups, and geosciences organization are welcome to suggest topics and submit proposals for both Topical Sessions and Pardee Keynote Symposia.

Pardee Symposia are high-profile sessions on significant scientific developments, with invited speakers only. Topical Sessions are a combination of invited and volunteered papers. Unique formats are allowed, but they must be outlined in the proposal, along with the technical support needs. Sessions that promote discussion are encouraged.
