  Geological Society of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Geological Society of America (or GSA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of the geosciences.
The society was founded in New York in 1888 by James Hall, James D. Dana, and Alexander Winchell, and has been headquartered at 3300 Penrose Place, Boulder, Colorado since 1968.
The stated mission of GSA is "to advance the geosciences, to enhance the professional growth of its members, and to promote the geosciences in the service of humankind".

 Geologic Map of North America
The Geologic Map of North America (published February 2005) portrays the grand architecture of the continent as we understood it in the closing years of the 20th century.
The resulting Geologic Map of North America is designed to depict bedrock and less indurated sedimentary units at or near the surface throughout all parts of the North American continent, as well as selected parts of adjacent continents and islands.
During compilation of the geologic map some corrections were made to the base, chiefly in northeastern Greenland and in the overlap area between the northern and southern sheets.

There are an increasing number of researchers attempting to take ground penetrating radar studies beyond simple anomaly detection or even “impressive” GPR cross-sections into the realm of detailed spatial and temporal stratigraphic facies analyses.
The goal is not to improve the geophysical technique, but rather to cross the boundary that often separates geophysical tools (techniques) from geological studies--namely the development of detailed 3D or 4D geological models constrained by outcrop, trench, borehole, AND geophysical data.
Our objective is to provide a forum at the Geological Society of America meeting for these types of studies because of their geological purpose and focus.
