T76 “Present Posture and Future Status of Pacific Atoll Research”. John D. Collen and Douglas Edsall, co-organizers. Sponsor, International Division. T144 "Tectonics of the Circum-Pacific Rim in Space and Time: Focus on Alaska, Central and South America, and the Western Pacific." Suzanne Mahlburg Kay and Mark Cloos, coorganizers. Cosponsors International Division, U.S. National Committee on the Geological Sciences, Circum-Pacific Council, and GSA Structural Geology and Tectonics Division. International Division Activities in 2003 A principal activity of the International Division this year is to provide travel awards to young international scientists to attend the GSA Annual Meeting in Seattle. Following the Division's by-laws, an awards committee was appointed by the division president to select the recipients of these awards. The committee consists of First Vice-President, Mark Cloos, University of Texas, Austin, Texas and Yildirim Dilek, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The charge to the committee is to select awardees to receive partial support from the International Division Award Fund and the Charles Lum Drake International Grant Fund, which the International Division oversees. Recipients of awards from the Drake Fund and other Drake-type funds are required to be under 40 years old and to be non-citizens of the United States. The management board gratefully acknowledges the donations made by our membership to assist students and young scientists from outside North America to attend the GSA Annual Meeting in Seattle. The donations were made and are still being received in response to a letter of appeal by the ID President. These funds go into the ID Awards Fund and will help support the many requests we have received from overseas. So far we have 15 requests. In addition, to help raise funds for international travel requests, “International Travel Grants” was approved by Council to be put on the “GSA Greatest Needs List”. This action through a trustee subcommittee identifies potential donors, corporations, foundations, and individuals for raising the needed financial base. The GSA Council acted in 2002 to sunset the Globalization Review Board and to add a member of the International Division to the current Annual Program Committee. Being no other volunteers, Dean Kleinkopf will fill the 3-year appointment, with approval of Council. The International Division’s Bruce Molina is a candidate for Councilor (2004-2006) in the GSA election being held this August.
