The Gulf Coast Section Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists Foundation Annual Research Conference Series was initiated in 1980 for the purpose of providing a forum for the timely presentation of current research on topics of particular interest to exploration and production geologists working in the Gulf Coast area. The format of these conferences provides a free exchange of ideas and information on selected topics and encourages further research into these areas. Conference participants represent industry, academia and varied research groups, both public and private, and include many scientists from outside the Gulf Coast area.

For information on ordering copies of the program, abstracts, and papers of previous conferences, check out our Publications page.
