Austin Geological Society : Austin, Texas Geologist Resources

AGS Guidebook and other publications are available from the Bureau of Economic Geology and “out of print” guidebooks are available as a PDF document from the University of Texas at Austin, Jackson School of Geosciences library.

The Austin Geological Society Bulletin is published once a year in August and is available through the society’s Web page and select geological libraries in Central Texas. The Bulletin summarizes significant AGS news and events from the preceding year, including the abstracts of talks given at the monthly meetings. It is also a forum for publication of geoscientific papers and notes of regional interest.
Authors retain copyright of their material, but the bulletin and the authors should be referenced if any materials are used in documents or presentations. The Austin Geological Society is not responsible for statements and opinions in its publications. Mention of any trademark or proprietary product in the bulletin does not imply a guarantee, warranty, or endorsement of the product by the Austin Geological Society.

Paper Topics

The focus of technical papers shall be on Central Texas geoscience topics or issues (geology,
hydrogeology, environmental/engineering geology, and so on). If you are unclear if your idea for a
technical paper will meet this requirement, please contact the Editor for guidance. We also welcome
comments, notes, and reflections that would be of interest to our membership.

Who can submit a paper?

Anyone from anywhere can submit a paper. However, AGS members are given
preference for publication if the number of pages in the Bulletin becomes an issue. Non-AGS members will
need to pay a $20 fee, plus any applicable page charges, if a paper is accepted for publication. Editors of
the AGS Bulletin can submit papers but can not be involved in the review or assessment of their papers. No
more than two papers per lead author can be published in any given year.

In addition, many “out of print” guidebooks are available as a PDF document from the the University of Texas at Austin, Jackson School of Geosciences library: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/books/landscapes/misc1.php
