Hi Shannon - I think you can keep an eye on the SCGS at:

I don't know what January is going to bring...and their web site doesn't say yet.

The Los Angeles Basin Geological Society is having luncheon meetings in Long Beach:
January 24, 2002 (4th Thursday)
Dr. Lewis Owen: Holocene slip rates along the Owens Valley fault, California: Implications for the recent evolution of the Eastern California Shear Zone.

February 28, 2002 (4th Thursday)
Dr. Cathy Busby: Tectonics of strike-slip interarc basins.

March 28, 2002 (4th Thursday)
Dr. Rick Behl: Fractured Cherts of Coastal CA

If anyone wants more info or details on meeting place let me know.

Shannon- is your paper on the web somewhere? Or the poster?

Canie
