It’s been nearly a century since GSA last held its Annual Meeting in Baltimore, so we’re pleased to have this opportunity to host several thousand geoscience professionals and students in the city by the Chesapeake Bay. Preparing to host the Annual Meeting this year has been most enjoyable, primarily because of all the wonderful people one meets and gets to work with. Patrick Burkhart from Slippery Rock University performed the huge task of building the technical program. Field trips were organized thanks to three key folks from the Maryland Geological Survey: Director, Rich Ortt; past Director, Jeff Halka; and Senior Geologist, Dave Brezinski. Mike Passow from Lamont-Doherty and Mike Kelley from NASA contributed their expertise in K–12 education and outreach. And Hannah Susorney and Sophie Lehmann, both from Johns Hopkins, were our student committee members. I thank all of the Organizing Committee members for their support. The GSA staff members who work on our Annual Meetings are incredible. Because they begin working with the visitors bureau and the local meeting venues more than a year in advance of the meeting, the staff’s behind-the-scenes efforts are critical to making this meeting so successful each and every year. We should remember to thank our colleagues from all the GSA Divisions and associated societies who volunteer countless hours as they prepare their many contributions to the Annual Meeting. Annual Meetings don’t happen without financial support, and we should thank and support all of our sponsors and exhibitors. I’d especially like to thank Towson University and the Johns Hopkins University, representing Baltimore’s two geoscience degree–granting programs, for their sponsorships. Finally, the GSA Foundation provides significant support for a number of activities at the Annual Meeting. The GSA Foundation relies on donations from corporations and GSA members, and certainly deserves our continued support. All of us on the Organizing Committee hope that every visitor to Baltimore and the GSA Annual Meeting has an enjoyable and useful experience. David A. Vanko, Towson University 1–4 November • Baltimore,

    HIGHWAYS BETTERING THE ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT POLLINATOR PROTECTION ACT H.R. 2738 Introduced by Reps. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) and Jeff Denham (R-CA) The undersigned support H.R. 2738, the Highways Bettering the Economy and Environment Pollinator Protection Act (Highways BEE Act). Pollinators, such as honey bees and native pollinators, birds, bats, and butterflies, are essential to healthy ecosystems and are vital partners in American agriculture. Honey bees, monarch butterflies and other native pollinators are suffering drastic population losses, due in part to loss of habitat. Highway right-of-ways (ROWs) managed by State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) represent about 17 million acres of opportunity where significant economic and conservation/environmental benefits can be achieved through integrated vegetation management (IVM) practices, that can— Significantly reduce mowing and maintenance costs for State DOTs, and Help create habitat, forage and migratory corridors that will contribute to the health of honey bees, monarch butterflies and other native pollinators, as well as ground nesting birds and other small wildlife. Neighboring agricultural lands and wildlife ecosystems will benefit through improved pollination services. The Highways BEE Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to use existing authorities, programs and funding to encourage and facilitate IVM and pollinator habitat efforts by willing State DOTs and other transportation ROWs managers, building on innovative IVM efforts in a growing number of State

    WGBH/NOVA #4220 Making North America: Origins KIRK JOHNSON (Sant Director, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History): North America, the land that we love: it looks pretty familiar, don’t you think? Well, think again! The ground that we walk on is full of surprises, if you know where to look. 00:25 As a geologist, the Grand Canyon is perhaps the best place in the world. Every single one of these layers tells its own story about what North America was like when that layer was deposited. So, are you ready for a little time-travelling? 00:38 I’m Kirk Johnson, the director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and I’m taking off on the fieldtrip of a lifetime,… 00:50 Look at that rock there. That is crazy! …to find out, “How did our amazing continent get to be the way it is?” EMILY WOLIN (Geophysicist): Underneath Lake Superior, that’s about 30 miles of volcanic rock. KIRK JOHNSON: Thirty miles of volcanic rock? How did the landscape shape the creatures that lived and died here? Fourteen-foot-long fish, in Kansas. That’s what I’m telling you! 01:14 And how did we turn the rocks of our homeland… Ho-ho. Oh, man! …into riches? This thing is phenomenal. In this episode, we hunt down the clues to our continent’s epic past. 01:26 You can see new land being formed, right in front of your eyes. Why does this golf course hold the secret to the rise and fall of the Rockies? What forces nearly cracked North America in half? And is it possible that the New York City skyline… I’ve always wanted to do this.
