2002 Earth Science Week

 

Participating for the second consecutive year, the GCSSEPM hosted one of the most popular "Passport Stations" on Saturday October 12 for the opening of Earth Science Week (ESW) activities at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Section volunteers, Tony D'Agostino, Nick D'Agostino, Nancy Engelhardt-Moore, Bob Moore and Don van Nieuwenhuise spoke about microfossils, paleoecology, geologic field work, and other subjects to hundreds of visitors to the museum.

Elementary, middle school, high school and even college students from Italy and elsewhere enjoyed the ESW activities and our station in particular. The GCSEEPM participated with many other Houston geoscience societies such as the HGS, SEG, SIPES, Houston Gem and Mineral Society and others. Denise Stone, President of the HGS welcomed all the volunteer societies and museum visitors. Denise also read a proclamation from Houston Mayor Lee Brown declaring Earth Science Week as an official event supported by the City of Houston.
