General Information
The 2011 GSA Northeastern/North-Central Joint Section
meeting will convene at the Omni William Penn Hotel,
Pittsburgh. All events will occur there, including the departure and return of field trips. The hotel is located on William
Penn Place. As the hotel is a block wide, the hotel also sits
at the corner of 6th Ave., and Grant St., one block west of
I-579, at the 6th Ave. exit. Regionally, Pittsburgh surrounds
the junctions of I-70/I-76 (east-west) and I-79 (north-south).
The hotel is readily accessible from the Interstate system
(air travel, Amtrak, and buses too!).
• From the north, take the I-279 exit (left lane) from
I-79 southbound, then exit across the Veterans Bridge
to 6th Ave. Turn right onto 6th Ave and the Wm Penn
Hotel is the large red brick high-rise on the left side of
the street. Follow 6th Ave. to the far side of the hotel,
turn left on Wm Penn Place to the Bellman’s Station.
• From the south, exit I-79 northbound at I-376, travel
five miles across the Carnegie Valley, over Greentree
Hill, and through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. Take the
Liberty Avenue exit; turn right onto 6th Ave.; turn
right onto Wm Penn Place; hotel is on the left.
• From the west, exit I-76, the PA Turnpike, at I-79,
turning south toward the city, then follow the above
directions that describe the approach from the north.
• From the east, exit the PA Turnpike, I-76, at
Monroeville. Take I-376 west to the Grant St. exit.
Turn right on Grant St., then left onto 6th Ave., then
left on Wm Penn Place, and the hotel is on the left.
Setting
Pittsburgh is a thriving city with vibrant communities,
great restaurants, and many museums. The Three Rivers—
the Allegheny and Monongahela, which merge to form the
Ohio River at Point State Park, deeply incise the Allegheny
Plateau where the city is situated upon the surrounding hills
and floodplains. The region offers a variety of geologically
interesting venues. To the east lies the Allegheny Front, this
separates the Valley and Ridge from the Appalachian Plateau
physiographic province. Not far to the north, one finds the
terminal Laurentide Ice Sheet moraine. The region is also
rich with oil, gas, coal, aggregates and a wealth of additional
natural resources, all overprinted with myriad geotechnical
hazards. The meeting neighborhood includes great dining,
from five star fares to pizza slices, as well as upscale and convenience shopping, and several modes of public transportation.

Workshops
1. Geology of National Parks Modules in the
“Spreadsheets across the Curriculum” Library. Sat., 19
March., 1–5 p.m., US$15. Max.: 24. Conference C. Len
Vacheru; Judy McIlrath; Tom Juster, Univ. of South Florida.
“Spreadsheets across the Curriculum (SSAC)” is an
online library of “spreadsheet modules” (short, self-contained
PowerPoint presentations with embedded Excel spreadsheets) that get students to “do mathematics” “in context”
(meaning outside the mathematics classroom). The aim of
the SSAC library is to provide a resource for instructors
committed to bringing quantitative literacy problem solving into their introductory-level disciplinary courses. The
Geology of National Parks collection is aimed at the introductory geology course, Geology of National Parks, and has
been made in collaboration with Research Learning Centers
(RLCs) at eight national park units ranging from Point Reyes
(California) to Congaree (South Carolina). As a result of this
collaboration, the modules focus on issues relevant to park
management and environmental stewardship, which means
they would complement material in any number of introductory geoscience classes that teach about basic geologic processes such as glaciers, volcanoes, and streams. Participants
in the workshop are introduced to the SSAC pedagogy; learn
the design of SSAC modules; explore the range of quantitative literacy issues, geoscience subjects, and national parks
represented in the collection; and think interactively about
how SSAC modules can be adapted to their own geoscience
courses. Bring your own laptop computer.
2. Creating Original Geoscience Content in Google
Earth. Sat., 19 March, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., US$45 (does not
include lunch). Max.: 24. Steve Whitmeyer, James Madison
Univ.; Declan De Paor, Old Dominion Univ. Location: Omni
William Penn, Conference A, Conference Level.
By analogy with Web browsers, Google Earth can be
described as a geo-browser that enables users to view and
search Earth’s surface. Most users are familiar with the terrain
model and layers that come with Google Earth. Those who
want to create original content that others can view have to
write their own KML by hand. Some content can be added
with ease (placemarks, photos, etc.), but more advanced content usually requires experience in computer scriptwriting.
This workshop focuses on methods that we have developed
for geoscientists to create content for Google Earth simply
by filling in details on Web pages, pressing a submit button,
and copying automatically generated KML into a document
using a standard text editor. We have also created KML
templates that instructors can modify with minimum scripting. In addition, we will showcase new methods for creating
virtual field trips and for managing large geological maps and
block diagrams.
3. Classroom Strategies that Improve Learning and
Engage Students. Sat., 19 March. 1–5 p.m., US$25. Max.:
25. David Steer, Univ. of Akron. Oliver Room, Conference
Level.
This workshop shows faculty how to introduce active
learning strategies in predominately lecture classes in the
geosciences. This half-day workshop introduces faculty to
a schema for developing their own materials and provide an opportunity to develop and review such activities.
Participants will leave the workshop with the pedagogical
foundation and in-class learning resources they need to better
engage their students.
4. Climate Change: Causes, Consequences, and
Adaptations. Sat., 19 March, 1:30–5:30 p.m., US$25.
Max.: 24. P. Allen Macfarlane, Kansas Geol. Survey. Carnegie
III, Conference Level.
This workshop provides an overview for K–12 science
educators of climate change as a natural phenomenon and
as a result of human activities. Content and hands-on activities are designed to stimulate better understanding of climate
and atmospheric science, the consequences of global climate
change, and potential adaptations of humans to climate
change. Attendees are provided with content presentations,
activities, and data sets for use in the classroom.
5. Near-Surface Geophysics for Non-Geophysicists. Sat.,
19 March, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., US$45 (does not include lunch).
Max.: 35. Gregory Baker, Univ. of Tennessee. Conference B.
This workshop, designed for professionals, faculty, and
students with little or no required background in geophysics,
provides a brief overview of state-of-the-art near-surface geophysical techniques and applications. The principle goal is for
participants to develop sufficient understanding of methods
to (1) better understand potential applications (including
pitfalls and constraints) to their present/future research, and
(2) be able to more readily interact and define objectives with
geophysical experts when developing collaborations. We will
focus on surface (as opposed to borehole) techniques and
include seismic (reflection, refraction, and surface waves),
ground-penetrating radar, electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic methods.
6. Sequence Stratigraphy for Graduate Students.
Cosponsored by SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Sun.–Mon., 20–21 March, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m., US$25. Max.:
20 Graduate Students. Vitor Abreu, ExxonMobil Upstream
Research Company. Conference C.
This course is designed to teach graduate students the
principles, concepts and methods of sequence stratigraphy.
Sequence stratigraphy is an informal chronostratigraphic
methodology that uses strata surfaces to subdivide the stratigraphic record. This methodology allows the identification
of coeval facies, documents the time-transgressive nature of
classic lithostratigraphic units and provides geoscientists with
an additional way to analyze and subdivide the stratigraphic
record. Using exercises that utilize outcrop, core, well log and
seismic data, the course provides a hands-on experience to
learning sequence stratigraphy.
7. How to Get Research Program Started at a PUI
(Primarily Undergraduate Institution). Cosponsored by the
Council on Undergraduate Research–Geosciences Division. Sun.,
20 March, 8 a.m.–noon, US$30. Max.: 20. Laura Guertin,
Penn State Brandywine. Allegheny Room, 17th Floor.
This workshop is presenting strategies and approaches for
developing and sustaining research programs at the undergraduate level. It is designed for new and future geosciences
faculty, including graduate students and post-docs preparing
to enter academic positions, who are interested in developing
an undergraduate research program, as well as faculty interested in expanding their research programs to include undergraduates. The workshop will cover, and participants will
receive materials on, funding opportunities (including NSF),
project selection and mentoring of undergraduates, and institutional support for undergraduate research. Facilitators will
work with the participants to develop their own strategy for
developing a research program involving undergraduates.
Field Trips
All field trips begin and end at the Omni William Penn
in Pittsburgh.
Premeeting
1. Late Devonian Paleontology and Paleoenvironments
at Red Hill and Other Fossil Sites in the Catskill Formation
of North-Central Pennsylvania. Two-day trip. Fri.–Sat.,
18–19 March. Departs 8 a.m. Fri.; returns 5 p.m. Sat., Cost:
US$250. Max.: 22. Ted Daeschler, Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia; Walt Cressler, West Chester Univ.
of Pennsylvania.
This field trip is visiting sites of fossil discoveries from
the Upper Devonian Catskill Formation in north-central
Pennsylvania. The Catskill Delta Complex grades upward
from nearshore marine facies through transitional facies and
into delta plain and alluvial plain depositional settings. Our
paleontological studies have focused on facies near the top
of the Catskill Formation. As recorded in the rocks that we
will observe on this fieldtrip, the Late Devonian Period was a
time of major transitions in flora, fauna, and the geobiological
system. By the Late Devonian, forests were widespread within
seasonally well-watered depositional basins. The spread of
plants on land, typified by the remains of Archaeopteris material from the Catskill Formation, set the stage for the radiation of animals in both the freshwater and terrestrial settings.
Large fossil bivalves of the genus Archanodon are recorded
throughout the Catskill Formation. Terrestrial arthropods
including millipedes, scorpions, and arachnids also occur.
Indeed, it appears as though the increased contribution of
organic detritus by land plants into terrestrial and freshwater
ecosystems during this time provided the primary productivity for increasingly complex and diverse ecosystems. We’ll
review and sample the diverse vertebrate assemblage, including placoderms, acanthodians, chondrichthyans, actinopter12 2011 GSA Abstracts with Programs ygians, and a wide range of sarcopterygians including at least
three species of tetrapods. The latter are known exclusively
from the Red Hill site.
2. An Introduction to Structures and Stratigraphy in the
Proximal Portion of the Middle Devonian Marcellus and
Burket/Geneseo Black Shales in the Central Appalachian
Valley and Ridge. Two-day trip. Fri.–Sat., 18–19 March.
Departs 7 a.m. Fri.; returns 6 p.m. Sat. Cost: US$245.
Max.: 40. Terry Engelder; Rudy Slingerland; Dan Kohl; Mike
Arthur, Penn State.
We’ll examine the internal stratigraphy of the Marcellus
Formation including regional facies changes. Facies shifts
in the proximal to medial portions of the basin are due to
eustatic sea level fluctuations. Chronostratigraphic surfaces
defined using sequence stratigraphic principles demonstrate
that much of the Marcellus Formation is genetically related
to the overlying, less organic-rich, more proximal facies of the
Mahantango Fm. Genetically related facies between chronostratigraphic surfaces indicate a primarily clastic eastern
depocenter with carbonates dominating the flexural forebulge in western Pennsylvania. The overprint of mesoscopic
structures on the Marcellus and Mahantango during the
Alleghanian Orogeny indicates a strain that leads to vertical
jointing in the Marcellus. Regional structural changes in the
Marcellus are consistent with distance from the Allegheny
Front. Both regional stratigraphic and structural variations
will be examined using outcrops, core (through a visit to the
Penn State - ABBSG core lab), and electric logs.
3. Appalachian Pennsylvanian Climate Events and Their
Congruent Biotic Responses. Sat., 19 March; 7:30 a.m.–
5 p.m. Cost: US$110. Max.: 22. David K. Brezinski, Maryland
Geol. Survey and Carnegie Museum of Natural History;
Albert D. Kollar, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
This field trip examins Pennsylvanian rocks of the central Appalachian Basin and discuss evidence for three scales
of climate change as well as the effect these changes had
on the biota. The trip begins with a stop in the Pottsville
and Allegheny formations in rocks formed during an Early
Pennsylvanian wet climate. The second stop will concentrate on the Upper Freeport Coal and the beginning of climatic drying. The trip continues with a stop in the middle
Conemaugh Group where red paleosols and thin marine
limestones suggest a shift to a drier climate. A return to the
humid conditions is the subject of the next stop, where the
Late Pennsylvanian Monongahela Group exhibits cyclothems
that alternate wet coal and drier lake cycles. The final stop
in the lower Permian, Dunkard Group and an increase in
evidence of a return to drier climatic conditions.
4. Western Pennsylvania Landslides. Sat., 19 March,
8 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Cost: US$100. Max.: 21. Richard Gray,
DiGioia, Gray & Associates LLC; William R. Adams, Jr.,
Pennsylvania Dept. of Transportation; James Hamel, Hamel
Geotechnical Consultants.
This field trip provides an excellent overview of landslides
in the Pittsburgh Region, which has long been recognized as
one of major landslide activity. This landslide activity results
directly from the geology and history of the region. Flat-lying
interbedded strong and weak sedimentary strata have been
acted upon by erosion, stress relief, weathering, and mass
wasting processes to produce colluvial masses of marginally
stable rock and soil on many of the steep hillsides common to
the region. Man’s activities over the past 250 years have exacerbated landslide problems at many locations. These activities have included excavation, fill placement, and surface and
subsurface drainage changes related to commercial, industrial,
and residential development; transportation; and coal mining. Stops within this field trip include Mt. Washington for
a general orientation on local geology and to discuss landsliding on the slope below; an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh
where we will see several small to medium sized landslides in
colluvium and fill; and stops along I-79 to observe numerous,
colluvial landslide features along with a hike up an ancient
rockslide to see open stress relief joints in massive sandstone,
large sandstone slump blocks, and a graben-like separation at
the rear of a rockslide mass.
5. Quaternary Geology of Northwestern Pennsylvania.
Sat., 19 March, 7 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Cost: US$95. Max.: 44.
Gary Fleeger, Pennsylvania Geol. Survey; John Szabo, Univ.
of Akron; Eric Straffin, Edinboro Univ. of Pennsylvania;
Todd Grote, Eastern Michigan Univ.
This field trip provides an overview of the glacial geology
of northwestern Pennsylvania. We will visit a variety of geomorphic, stratigraphic, and sedimentologic sites. Participants
will see a very complete esker-kame delta geomorphic
complex and the internal composition of the delta. Near
the glacial terminus, we will see the effects of lake drainage
and associated drainage changes. Also, the problem of the
multiple Titusville Till sheets of White et al (1969) will be
studied at an exposure that contains all 5 sheets. Younger tills
and the geologic history of the area around Conneaut Lake,
the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania (938 acres), will be
after the 12 p.m. stops. The final stop will discuss Holocene
history of northwestern Pennsylvania.
6. History and Geology of the Allegheny Portage
Railroad, Blair and Cambria Counties, Pennsylvania. Sat.,
19 March, 7:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. Cost: US$85. Max.: 50.
John A. Harper, Pennsylvania Geological Survey.
This field trip gives attendees the opportunity to see
first-hand the immense effort needed in the 1830s to take
the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal system over the imposing
Allegheny front using only picks, shovels, black powder, and
the sweat and muscle of men and beasts. From the construction of canal basins in Hollidaysburg and Johnstown, to the
building of the right of way, ten inclined planes, numerous
bridges, and the first tunnel built in America, the Allegheny
Portage Railroad was a marvel of early nineteenth-century
technology. The trip begins by traveling from Pittsburgh to
central Pennsylvania for an overview of the Hollidaysburg
canal basin area from Chimney Rocks Park, a former limestone quarry overlooking the town. Along the field trip
route, we’ll stop at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National
Historic Site at the top of Allegheny Mountain, ride down
several of the inclined planes, and stop at the Johnstown
Flood National Memorial, all with an eye toward the geology that affected (and afflicted) the stalwart individuals who
built the first railroad over the mountains. After a brief look
at what remains of the Johnstown canal basin, we will return
to Pittsburgh in time for dinner. This trip is appropriate for
families as well as professional and student geologists.
7. From Fort Pitt to the Golden Triangle: Geological
and Historical Aspects of Downtown Pittsburgh and its
Environs. Sat., 19 March, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Cost: US$20.
Max.: 24. Joe Hannibal, Cleveland Museum of Natural
History; Andrew Gaerte, Fort Pitt Museum.
This walking trip explores the cultural geology of
Pittsburgh from the time of Fort Duquesne to the present.
This will include a guided visit to the Fort Pitt Museum,
walks across two major bridges, a ride up (and down) Coal
Hill via incline, and a scenic stroll down Grandview Avenue
to view the Golden Triangle from above. It will involve a
total of about 4 miles of walking at a leisurely pace, with
breaks, throughout the day. Museum entrance fees and guidebook materials are included in the field trip fee. Lunch (at
Market Square) and fare for the inclines (about US$5) are
not included in the cost of the trip. This trip is designed to be
entertaining as well as informative and is suitable for guests as
well as professional geologists.
During the Meeting
8. Building Pittsburgh—A Walking Tour of Pittsburgh’s
Building Stones. Mon., 21 March, 1–4 p.m. Cost: US$20.
Max.: 24. Judy Neelan, Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental
Protection; C.H. Shultz, Slippery Rock Univ. (emeritus).
Share in the colorful history of Pittsburgh by joining us
for a downtown walking tour of some of Pittsburgh’s most
beautiful buildings. Discover the history and architecture
of the buildings through the eyes of earlier writers. Then
discover the building stones through the eyes of a petrologist and the stone merchants who market them. Learn the
process by which the building stones are identified and how
we know where they are quarried. Add to this a little “made
in Pittsburgh” movie drama and a brand new rendering of
the “Building Pittsburgh” document which is included in the
price of the trip.
Post-Meeting
9. The Old, the Crude, and the Muddy: Oil History
in Western Pennsylvania. Wed., 23 March, 7:30 a.m.–
5:30 p.m. Cost: US$95. Max.: 45. Kristin Carter, Pennsylvania
Geological Survey; Kathy J. Flaherty, ABARTA Oil & Gas
Company.
The early oil fields of Pennsylvania provided most of
the crude oil for the world for several years, tapping shallow Upper Devonian petroleum reservoirs. The first stop on
this trip is Rouseville, PA, where we visit the McClintock
#1 in its 149th year of oil production. Completed in August
1861, McClintock #1 holds the record as the oldest continuously producing oil well in the world. The well is now operated by Drake Well Museum. Proceeding north to Titusville,
PA, we will visit the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum
Commission’s Drake Well Museum and grounds, site of
the first economic oil well intentionally drilled to find and
produce petroleum in the United States. The Drake Well
grounds host a variety of antique oilfield tools and equipment,
and feature a board-for-board replica of Edwin L. Drake’s well.
Our final stop will be Muddy Creek Oil Field, located on the
Moraine State Park grounds near Portersville, PA. Once a
pumping oil field, Muddy Creek’s wells were plugged in the
1960s and the grounds were flooded to create Lake Arthur, a
popular recreational lake. The Muddy Creek site features an
operational central power and pump jack display.
10. Early Industrial Geology of Western Pennsylvania
and Eastern Ohio: Early Grist Mills and Iron Furnaces West
of the Alleghenies and Their Geologic Contexts. Wed., 23
March, 8 a.m.–6:30 p.m. Cost: US$65. Max.: 9. Joe Hannibal,
Cleveland Museum of Natural History; Tammie L. Gerke,
Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, Indiana Univ.;
Harry M. Edenborn, National Energy Technology Lab;
Mary K. McGuire, Univ. of Pittsburgh.
This trip explores the early nineteenth-century industrial geology of western Pennsylvania and easternmost Ohio.
Highlights of the trip will include a visit to Lanterman’s
Mill in Youngstown, Ohio, and at least one of the early iron
furnaces west of the Alleghenies. Discussions will cover
stone used for millstones, local iron ore, slag produced by
the furnaces, and Pennsylvanian stratigraphy related to early
14 2011 GSA Abstracts with Programs industries in the area. Some of the sites are very near parking
areas, but one may require a one-mile hike alongside a stream
with a few water crossings (you may get your feet wet). Hiking
boots are recommended. Because of the historic nature of this
trip and the beautiful settings, accompanying non-geologists
may find this trip to be of interest.
11. Building Pittsburgh—A Walking Tour of Pittsburgh’s
Building Stones. Wed., 23 March, 1–4 p.m. Cost: US$20.
Max.: 24. Judy Neelan, Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental
Protection; C.H. Shultz, Slippery Rock Univ., emeritus.
