The topics of General Symposia include all areas
of the Earth Sciences. They consist of both oral and poster presentations.
The list does not include the General Symposia, announced in the Second
Circular, which have been canceled. The abstracts of both confirmed
and canceled General Symposia will be included in the Congress Abstracts
Book. Session titles appear accompanied by the names of the conveners
and of the chairpersons. Conveners, chairpersons and scientific sponsor
organizations are listed in alphabetical order.
