Hi
I'm the Secretary of the Gulf Coast SEPM.  Some of you are probably
aware that the GCS-SEPM Foundation holds a geological Research 
Conference the first week of December every year.  These conferences
are single topic conferences.  In the begining the topics were limited
to Gulf of Mexico topics but over the years they have taken on a more
international flavor.  Presently the topics we consider are sedimentary
geology with possible Gulf coast applications.  I've been told that the
conference is considered to be the best of it's kind in the world. 
The topic for this year's conference is Submarine Fans and Turbidite
Systems.  The 1995 topic is Salt Sediment and Hydrocarbons.  The
Executive council of the society is kind of desperately seeking a
topic for the 1996 conference.  We are also looking for a backlog of
future topics.  During the Council's meeting on Dec. 4 we will be
discussing this problem.  I would appreciate any ideas any of you might
have for future meetings (also folks to organize them).  Unfortunately
after today I'll be out of the office most of the time till the meeting,
but I will check my e-mail sometime before the meeting.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
