The Geological Society of America (GSA) unites a diverse community of geoscientists in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet (and beyond) and share scientific findings.
@geosociety.bsky.socialDay one of #GSAConnects2026 is in the books, and it's also the first day of #EarthScienceWeek.
The Icebreaker, Sweet Connections! Trivia Night, Paleo X Mixer & Sedimentary Geochemistry & Paleoenvironments Project Social Hour kept thousands of geoscientists talking well into the evening.
@geosociety.bsky.socialLife, Earth, and the universe—all in a day’s work. 🦕🌍 Florida State University is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Paleobiology/Geobiology, with research and teaching spanning paleobiology, geobiology, paleoecology, and more.
@geosociety.bsky.socialExploring Denver during GSA Connects 2026? 🌍 Oct 9–11 is International EarthCache Day! Take your geology outside the meeting rooms with self-guided EarthCache™ adventures, from downtown streets to parks and hikes.

@geosociety.bsky.socialNew #Geology research suggests that the breakup of Rodinia ~800–750 million years ago may have created a continent-scale escarpment that contributed to the formation of the Great Unconformity by creating the high-relief landscape that later amplified glacial erosion: geosociety.co/Gernon_et_al
@geosociety.bsky.socialToday, we're celebrating International Geodiversity Day: geodiversityday.org
And next week, we gather in Denver, Colorado, for #GSAConnects2026 to experience some of the most geodiverse landscapes in the world first hand. Join us in Denver: connects.geosociety.org
@geosociety.bsky.socialNew #Geology reveals that factors including slope steepness, hillslope-to-channel connectivity, and sediment transport capacity can strongly influence the depth and style of post-earthquake erosion in mountain systems: geosociety.co/Wang_et_al_26
@geosociety.bsky.socialWant to turn climate change research into impact in the classroom? 🌍 Furman University is hiring a tenure-track Professor of Environmental Science at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level, with expertise in climate change or related fields.
@geosociety.bsky.socialWhich matters more in landscape evolution: tectonics or climate? New evidence from the Taiyuan Basin in the central Shanxi Rift, North China, suggests that, during the Early Pleistocene, climate had the upper hand.
