Selected Highlights of the Scientific Program: This volume’s nine field trips explore geological history and visit four regional geologic provinces - Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, Cumberland Plateau, and the Nashville dome.

Army Corps of Engineers.Ī dedicated field guide has been written for this meeting: Diverse Excursions in the Southeast: Paleozoic to Present, edited by Ann E. Its name derives from “cató,” the Muskogean word for “rock,” giving due emphasis to the geology of the area and the ideal setting it provides for this meeting.Ĭonsidering that Chattanooga is prone to rockslides, sinkholes, and flooding, the keynote address for this meeting will be: “Rockslides, Sinkholes and Flooding, Oh My! The Geologist’s Role in Protecting Infrastructure” and will be delivered by Vanessa Bateman, chief, Geology Section, Nashville District, U.S.

The city lies along the Tennessee River, among the valleys and ridges of the southern Appalachian fold-and-thrust belt, and within view of the Cumberland Plateau and Blue Ridge. Widely known as “The Scenic City,” Chattanooga owes this distinction to its geologic setting. Meeting conveners are anticipating a relatively large meeting, with 389 oral and poster presentations and nine field trips. Topics include the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, teaching evolution in the southeastern U.S., energy geology, and geology’s role in protecting infrastructure. Geoscientists from the southeastern United States and beyond will convene in Chattanooga on March 19-20 to discuss new science, expand on existing science, and explore the unique geologic features of the region.
