Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies
2014 Annual Convention, with The Gulf Coast SEPM
• Oct. 5-7
• Cajundome Convention Center
The Convention Center is located on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Shuttle buses will run between the Cajun-dome and several hotel options, all excellent, reasonably priced properties in which to house your staff. |
Survival is a given in our industry, but you have the opportunity to thrive in 2014 by putting your message in front of the world’s largest regional geoscience society and by far AAPG’s biggest regional affiliate—the GCAGS. A broadly themed technical program will draw oil-finders from throughout the Gulf Coast—focused on conventional, resource and deep-water plays, salt tectonics, water resources, economics, politics and ethics, even renewables and environmental impact. A special symposium honoring industry legendArnold Bouma will cover the history of turbidite study and the futureof deep-water sedimentology.
