Welcome to the Geological Society of
New Hampshire
We are a group of geologists, professional geologists and people interested in geology. Our purpose is to advance the science of geology and the geologic sciences as a profession in New Hampshire. We publish four newsletters a year and host three dinner meetings with interesting speakers and a field trip each year. Check out our newsletter on the Publications page and click on Meetings and Events for our next gathering. If you are a teacher, click on the Outreach Activities button on the left for resources that we offer educators. We maintain a list of available opportunities for continuing education on the Continuing Education page. We also publish Job Listings as they come our way. We always welcome new members. Click on Membership & Sponsorship for information on how to join the society. Explore our site and learn more about what we have to offer!

It may sound intimidating, but we grow by
“swimming in deeper water.” As you
explore the above website, you will see that there is something for everybody. Grow – challenge yourself. Become more comfortable and confident in your
subject areas. Attend sessions interesting to you; take advantage of
special displays, free samples, and discounts on educational materials; and
network with fellow teachers and Earth Science professionals.
As a bonus, if you are teaching science in
NH, you may get some of your
registration fee and expenses covered by a grant from the Geological Society of
NH. Learn how at: http://www.gsnhonline.org/outreach/lincolnfund.shtml. And… special rock-bottom overnight rates at the resort are offered
for attendees registering before February 17, 2015!

in New Hampshire and neighboring states and encourages feedback
from the geologic community and other map users. Methods, map standards
and,
most importantly,
science are the central themes. The poster session and oral presentations are open
to the public.
Please RSVP to the NH Geological Survey at
geology@des.nh.gov if you plan to attend.

Grand Canyon Rafting Trip
July 6 to July 12, 2015
Next
summer (2015), Fred Beck (Geological Society of Maine) and
Alison Jones (GSM and Geological Society of
Arizona) will be leading
a raft trip through 188 miles of the Grand
Canyon, a 7 day trip on 2
motorized 34-foot inflatable rafts. This will be the 7th trip
for Alison and
6th for Fred.
We
will be going “down section” from the late Permian into the
Precambrian, and making numerous geologic and just
fun stops along
the
way. We will be camping out each night
on sandy beach deltas. As
in
the past, our trip will be run by Hatch River Expeditions, the oldest
raft concessionaire in the Grand Canyon. Hatch provides everything;
two rafts which each comfortably carry 16
people, all camping gear and
food,
and three licensed experienced guides who run the boats, do the
cooking,
and assure that everyone will have the experience of a lifetime.
In
the past we have had about 50% geologists and the rest spouses, teen-
aged
children, or just people who want to learn about geology in perhaps
the
grandest classroom in the world. It may
be that this trip would
qualify
for continuing education credits for those who need these credits.
This
trip has proved very popular and the available spots usually are all
filled by late summer or early Fall. A deposit of $500 is required to
hold
a spot. The balance of $2450 is due in
March. In case of
cancellation,
the deposit will be returned if the spot can be filled. Since
we
always have had a waiting list, we’ve never failed to fill vacated
spots. For more detailed information, contact Fred
Beck at
fmbeck@fmbeck.net, or Alison Jones at
ajones@clearcreekassociates.com.
