Buffalo Bayou – Hurricane Harvey Walking Tour
Time: 8am – 1pm
This walking tour will explore Buffalo Bayou, a slow moving body of water that runs through downtown Houston. We will see the sedimentary record archive of Harvey’s flow and its parallels in the hydrologic and human impact archives. This is a shortened version of the full walking tour compiled by Jerry Kendall.
See field guide here.
Geoscientists without Borders – Dignity in Depth, with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and University of Houston
Time: 8am – 1pm
This field experience will allow attendees to apply near-surface geophysical methods (metal detectors, ground penetrating radar) for locating unmarked burial sites to assist in refurbishing historic African American cemeteries in the Houston area.

The Houston area is full opportunity to explore, dine and shop.
The host hotel is located in the Galleria district – there are tons of restaurants and shopping in walking distance.
