Long Island Geologists Conference on

"Geology of Long Island and Metropolitan New York"

Saturday April 19, 1997

Earth and Space Sciences Building - SUNY Stony Brook

Major goals of the conference are to inform participants of ongoing research, to promote further research and collaboration among researchers, to define important areas where research is needed, and to encourage further research on Long Island and in Metropolitan New York.

Companies, agencies, schools, universities and colleges are encouraged to display promotional or informational material at the conference.     

If you have any photographs relating to the geology of Long Island or Metropolitan New York that are particularly attractive, we will be happy to display them also.   

There will be a $50 prize for the best photo.
