Dear Paleonetters,
This email is a follow-up to Lisa Park's message re. the topical sessions
to be offered at the GSA annual meeting in Seattle this November.
The Paleontological Society is sponsoring two additional sessions that
were cut-off in the previous email. I've included descriptions of the two
sessions below.
Please check the GSA website at:
http://www.geosociety.org
for additional details. If you have any questions about an individual session, please contact the conveners directly. For any other questions, please feel free to contact the PS members of the Joint Technical Program Committee: myself (Rowan Lockwood: rxlock@wm.edu), Mark Wilson (mwilson@wooster.edu) or Lisa Park (lepark@uakron.edu).
And once again...the abstract deadline is July 15th!

T27 Cutting edge and 'vintage' geochemistry: celebrating the science and life of Glenn Goodfriend
Bonnie A.B. Blackwell, bonnie.a.b.blackwell@williams.edu, Paul Goldberg, paulberg@bu.edu, Julie Brigham-Grette, brigham-grette@geo.umass.edu
Co-sponsored by the Paleontological Society, the GSA Archaeological, Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology Divisions and the Geochemical Society
Glenn Goodfriend died in 2002. We want to honour his memory and his great contributions to many geological disciplines. He made significant contributions to Archaeological Geology, Quaternary Geology, marine and coastal geology, paleontology, and particularly organic geochemistry, through his work on amino acid geochemistry (ORAL and POSTER).

P4 Neoproterozoic Geobiology: Fossils, Clocks, Isotopes, and Rocks
Shuhai Xiao, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA; Alan J. Kaufman, University of Maryland, College Park, MD
Co-sponsored by the GSA Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division; NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI); GSA Sedimentary Geology Division; Paleontological Society; Geochemical Society; Precambrian (at large)
Sedimentologists, paleontologists, geochemists, and earth system modelers are brought together to present new data and models (stimulated by the "snowball Earth" hypothesis) on the Neoproterozoic Earth, in order to better understand the relationship between tectonic, climatic, and biological change at the end of the Proterozoic Eon (ORAL)
