Email Notifications about Upcoming Events

Announcing HOUSTON-GEOSCIENCES: The Geosciences Forum for the Greater Houston Area

The Houston Geological Society also uses this forum to send out last timely notices about HGS upcoming events.

"Houston-Geosciences" is a free, subscription-only, electronic mailing list sponsored by the Department of Geosciences at the University of Houston. Its purpose is to facilitate interdisciplinary scientific discussion, timely exchange of information, and community among geoscience professionals in the greater Houston area. We hope you will subscribe and contribute.

News, information, and discussion of any topic or event related to the geosciences are invited. We welcome short announcements of the availability of publications, specialized software applications, equipment, courses, seminars, meetings and conferences, services, job openings, scholarships, URL's for WWW resources, and other opportunities that are relevant to the geoscientific purposes of the list and likely to be of interest to geoscience professionals.
