[Sasnet] GSA Topical Session 1 abstract deadline July 11 (fwd)

[Bonnie A B Blackwell]

Caves are geological time-capsules. When dated, they reveal detailed
patterns of climatic, sedimentological, and hydrological changes, as well
as botanical, faunal, and archaeological turnover.  Contributions from all
disciplines working in caves, rock shelters, or karst fissures are
welcomed.

If you work in caves, rock shelters, or karst fissures please don't forget
to submit an abstract to the Geological Society of America's Topical
Session T1 for the Annual Meeting to be held in Philadelphia, October
22-25, 2006.  Abstracts should be submitted online at
<http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2006>. Abstract Deadline is July 11,
2006, midnight Pacific Time.  Please also send a copy of your abstract
(including title and authors) to myself or Don McFarlane
<dmcfarla at jsd.claremont.edu>.  Hope to see you in Philadelphia!

thanks
