Instructions

Peruse the Topical Sessions to determine if there is a session that fits your abstract(s). You can use the search tools to filter for sessions related to your research. If you find one that is a fit, simply select the title of the session to which you would like to submit to initiate the abstract submission process.

 

If you do not see a topic that is a fit, please choose "Discipline Sessions" and select the category under which your paper should fall to be included in the discipline session for that category.


To note:

  • Abstract Limits: You may submit up to two (2) abstracts, one oral and one poster, OR two posters as the presenting author.
    • The only exceptions to this rule are if you have been formally asked to be an "invited" speaker, or you are presenting in a session being conducted in Spanish.
  • You do not need to finish your submission in one sitting. You may return to the portal to make edits/additions up to the submission deadline.
  • Presentation Mode: You may select "oral" or "poster" for the mode of presentation. If you do not have a preference, kindly choose “either.”
    • The session conveners may override your choice if your abstract fits in a session that has a presentation mode different from your choice. Session and program organizers’ decisions are final.
  • Support: If you would like your abstract to be placed in a different session from where you started the submission, or you need other support, please contact meetings@geosociety.org for assistance.
  • GSA does not edit your abstract(s) prior to the committee’s evaluation. Please make sure your abstract text description is the final version, and free from spelling and grammatical errors.
  • Are you a student? There are many sessions designed just for you. We recommend working with your advisor during the submission process and starting early!
  • Abstract Fees: You must pay to submit an abstract. Abstracts fees are non-refundable and in USD. Abstract fees are based on the SUBMITTER'S member type. Invited Speakers must also pay the abstract fee.

Member = $60
Student Member = $25
Non-Member = $80
