Workshops at GSA

NAGT is cosponsoring a number of workshops at this year's GSA Annual Meeting in Denver. Several of them currently have fairly low enrollment, so to ensure that the workshops run, please consider signing up for one when you register. The early registration deadline for GSA is Monday, September 23. At that point the meeting organizers will begin making decisions about which workshops have enough participants to go forward and which do not.

Take a look at the workshops below and support the ones that matter to you. You can find abstracts for all of the workshops being offered at the meeting on the GSA website - http://community.geosociety.org/2013AnnualMeeting/Conference/Courses.
