Dear Colleagues,
As you may have heard,
Don Swanson, of the U.S. Geological Survey, has been awarded the 2016
Distinguished Career Award from the Geological Society of
America's Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, and Volcanology
Division. A topical session will be held in Don't honor at the 2016
Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America, September 25-28,
2016, in Denver, Colorado.
T228. Field Geology to Inform Volcanic Processes: A Tribute to the Distinguished Career of Don Swanson
The
session will highlight the importance of painstaking field observations
and analysis to understanding volcanic processes -- a hallmark of Don's
career -- and we encourage abstract submissions along those lines.
Such work could be inspired by Don's example, build on his work in such
places as the Columbia River Basalts, Cascade Arc, and Hawaii, or show
how Don's interpretations have led to a better understanding of volcanic
activity elsewhere in the world.
The abstract deadline is July 12. Abstracts can be submitted directly to the session via the following link:
We look forward to an excellent session and celebration of Don's career at GSA in September!
See you in Denver,
Mike Poland (USGS)
Bruce Houghton (University of Hawaii)
