First Draft Papers with Abstracts are Due Nov 1 for peer review, returned to authors after review(s) by Jan 15 with final revised version due back to the Pub.

Final Abstracts for inclusion in the Program with Abstracts are due by Feb 1. Minor changes in the Abstracts going with the papers for publication in the Proceedings volumes can be made up until March 1. Those giving talks or posters ( including core shed posters & photos ) are encouraged to submit Papers or Extended Abstracts for the Proceedings Volume by Nov 1. Unsolicited abstracts without talks or posters will not be considered for Proceedings publication. We will be following Report Format Guidelines of the Utah Geological Survey.

Will there be a 2022 symposium proceedings?

Yes, there will be another published volume in time for the re-scheduled 2022 Symposium. The 2022 digital proceedings will contain both the 2020 and 2022 content of pdf-format papers and abstracts in separate folders. Both proceedings volumes will be provided as part of every full technical program registration. GSN has yet to determine whether there will be a printed 2022 volume. Please check back for submission dates.
