Research Papers on the Web
A number of undergraduate and
graduate research reports, miscellaneous research projects as well as theses
at SUNY Stony Brook have been placed on the web. Links to these sites are
given below.
Conference on the Geology of Long
Island and Metropolitan New
York
Each year since 1994 the conference has accepted extended abstract of
up to 10 pages single space for publication. The programs are on the web at www.geo.sunysb.edu/lig/. Limited
numbers of printed abstract volumes are available for
1994 - 1999, 2001 and 2002. The cost for each volume is $10. If you
wish to purchase a printed volume, send a check for $10 for each volume to:
Long Island Geologists
Department of Geosciences

Stony Brook, NY 11794-2100
Some of the abstracts for 1996, 1997 and 1998 are on the Long Island Geologists web site. All of the abstracts
since 1999 are on the web site.
