The joint meeting between The Geological Society of America (GSA), Soil Science Society of America (SSSA), American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies with the Gulf Coast Section of SEPM (GCAGS), hosted by the Houston Geological Society (HGS). Our vision is to highlight and stimulate discussions in areas of common interest across the diversity of disciplines and organizations represented. Shared involvement in Energy, Water Resources, Education, and Earth Systems, to name a few, will foster a program comprised of thousands of scientific papers, hundreds of exhibits, and a myriad of distinguished lectures and special events, to engage students and professionals across the earth sciences and in every employment sector. Joint Session categories include:
* Climate Change through Time: Evidence in the Geologic Record
* The Impending Global Water Crisis: Geology, Soils, Agronomy, and International Security
* Energy Budgets and the Global Market
* Globalization of Biogeochemical Cycles
* Wetland and River Restoration: Environmental Saviors or Scientific Failure?
* Coastal Impacts: Can Massive Environmental Restoration and Coastal Engineering Protect the Gulf Coast from Future Hurricane Impacts and Rising Sea Levels?
* Geobiology and Biomineralization: From the Origins of Life to the Origins of Cities
* Emerging Trace Contaminants in Surface and Ground Water generated from Waste Water and Solid Waste Application
* Carbon Sequestration: Methods, Markets and Policy
* Human Influences on the Stratigraphic Record
International Conference on Chemical Engineering (ICCE'08) http://www.iaeng.org/WCECS2008/ICCE2008.html
San Fransisco, California, USA
The conference ICCE'08 is held under the World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science WCECS 2008. The WCECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The congress has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The last IAENG conference in 2006 has attracted more than four hundred participants from over 30 countries. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-0-2). The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books...
29th Annual Meeting, SETAC North America http://tampa.setac.org/
