Location

SGS 2026 will be hosted at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute (UTMSI) in Port Aransas, Texas.

Overnight housing 

UTMSI campus housing facilities will be available to symposium attendees ($30/night for a shared dormitory room).  Please reserve overnight housing on the registration form when you register for the symposium. 

Field Trip

SGS 2026 will include a half-day field trip to Mustang Island that highlights local geobiological sites of interest. The SGS 2026 Organizing Committee hopes that a local field trip can become a traditional component of SGS going forward, thereby promoting geobiological research throughout the Gulf Coast region.
