GSM members,
I am pleased to announce that the lecture schedule for this fall is pretty much completed. As usual, our program chair, Steve Erickson, has put together an interesting and diverse slate of topics, including two that will be online. As in the past, the live lectures, except the Fall Banquet and Annual Meeting on Sept 16, will be on the U of Minnesota campus, but we won’t know the building and room until sometime in September.
You can find the schedule online here: https://gsmn.geosocmn.org/Current%20Years%20Lecture1 . I have also attached it to this message. As always, changes will occur and we will show those online as soon as we know.
Dave Wilhelm
GSM President
