- Summary:
- The theme of the 2004 GSA Annual Meeting and Exposition, 'Geoscience in a Changing World', covers both new and traditional areas of the earth sciences. The Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and the High Plains preserve an outstanding record of geological processes from Precambrian through Quaternary times, and thus serve as excellent educational exhibits for the meeting. With energy and mineral resources, geological hazards, water issues, geo-archaeological sites, and famous dinosaur fossil sites, the area also provides ample opportunities for field trips focusing on our changing world.
