Presents
--Call for nominations. We need a President, Vice President, and Treasurer but we could do without the last two.
(Note: we have to meet on Thursdays the next two months to get Hartley then we're back to Tuesdays next year)
Location: Stanford University
This will be the 441st meeting since 1954
Joe has written extensively on this topic. He will be presenting a compilation of his most recent work and recent publications. See, for instance,
Colgan, J.P., 2013, Reappraisal of the relationship between the northern Nevada rift and Miocene extension in the northern Basin and Range Province: Geology, v. 41(2), p. 211-214, doi: 10.1130/G33512.1, http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/41/2/211.abstract
Colgan, J.P., McPhee, D.K., McDougall, K., and Hourigan, J.K., 2012, Superimposed extension and shortening in the southern Salinas Basin and La Panza Range, California: A guide to Neogene deformation of the Salinian block in the central California Coast Ranges: Lithosphere, v. 4(5) p. 411-429, doi:10.1130/L208.1, http://lithosphere.gsapubs.org/content/4/5/411.abstract

Joe Colgan
Joe Colgan studies the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the western United States using geologic mapping and structural analysis, geochronology, low-temperature thermochronology, and geophysical data. He joined the USGS in 2006 as a Mendenhall postdoctoral fellow with the Mineral Resources program, after graduating from Stanford University in 2005 with Ph.D. in Geological and Environmental Sciences.
Reservations: The preferred way to make reservations is simply to email Mike Diggles at mdiggles@usgs.gov by Oct. 8, tell him you will attend, commit to pay, and bring your payment to the meeting. Mike always emails a confirmation; if you don’t get one, assume email crashed yet again and email him a second time. A check made to “PGS” is preferred, payable at the meeting.

Dinner and the social hour is $35.00; this includes $5 that we use to help pay for students who are only $8.00 (also partially subsidized thanks to the School of Earth Sciences, Stanford University (Note, no-show reservations owe the full price).
Doris, whose wonderful crew prepares our meals, asked that we let you know that people who are late RSVPing and people who show up without a reservation will be welcome but that they will be eating on paper plates with plastic utensils (food supply permitting).
