The Geological Society of Nevada (GSN) will host a symposium in Reno-Sparks, Nev., on May 15-18, 2000.
Topics scheduled for discussion include: the geology of Nevada in the context of the Great Basin and the Cordillera; ore deposit models for frontier exploration; environmental geology, from the exploration to the remediation stage; origins of world-renowned gold systems; exploration technology in the 21st century; tectonics; mineral deposits in volcanic terranes; and geology of new discoveries.
The symposium’s program committee is calling for papers on these sessions.
Proposals for field trips and short courses are also welcome, and should include a brief description plus suggestions regarding length (number of days), estimated fees, and suggestions for potential leaders and instructors.
The symposium will examine the geological and tectonic setting of mineral deposits worldwide, with emphasis on the geology of mineral districts in the Great Basin of the western U.S. Descriptive papers on recently discovered deposits are invited, as are papers on general geology, geochemistry, geophysics, and tectonics of the Great Basin. There will be keynote and luncheon presentations by eminent geoscientists. Awards will be given for the best student papers.
Further details will be available on GSN’s web page: http://www.seismo.unr.edu/GSN For more information, call (702) 323-3500, fax (702) 323-3599 or E-mail gsnsymp@nbmg.unr.edu
