Rocky Mountain Section:
Society for Sedimentary Geology
RMS-SEPM exists to provide a stimulating forum within the Rockies geologic community for issues related to sedimentology, stratigraphy, and sedimentary petrology. This is achieved through monthly luncheon technical presentations, diverse though infrequent publication efforts, and sponsorship of field trips and core workshops. RMS-SEPM is a non-profit, professional organization with a membership drawn from a broad range of geologic backgrounds representing academia, research institutions, consulting organizations, and natural resource companies.
RMS-SEPM luncheons are on summer break over June\July but we are planning on ramping up in August:
August 25th Luncheon: An Introduction to Sediment-hosted Copper Deposits, Paradox Basin Evaporites, and the Cashin Cu-Ag Deposit, presented by Dr. Timothy MacIntyre
