Hello,

 

Here is an announcement of several short courses that will be offered at 
GSA this year.  Looks like many great opportunities -- and there are 
even more courses listed on the GSA website.

The Geological Society of America (GSA) will be offering these courses 
at its upcoming Annual Meeting (9-12 Oct in Minneapolis, MN). For 
abstracts and the roster of other available courses, please visit 
http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2011/courses.htm. GSA's *early 
registration* *deadline is Sept 6* so act fast! After this deadline all 
course prices go up $30.

If you are interested in one of these courses, sign up on-line at 
http://www.geosociety.org/meetings/2011/reg.htm. For those of you who 
have already registered for the meeting, you may add one of these 
courses by calling GSA's Sales and Services Department at 303-357-1000. 
If you are a GSA K--12 teacher member (dues are $30 each year), you do 
not need to register for the meeting or pay the nonregistrant/short 
course only fee of $40 to sign up for these courses.
