The Field Conference of Pennsylvania Geologists is an annual conference for industry, government, academic, and student geologists working and studying in Pennsylvania. For over 90 years geologists have attended the conference at locations throughout Pennsylvania.
The 2026 Field Conference of Pennsylvania Geologists will be held in northwestern Pennsylvania, headquartered in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This year we will be visiting sites throughout Luzerne and Monroe Counties with a broad focus on regional topics. The field stops will include visits to a glacial lake and associated ice-margin glacial landforms, several bedrock outcrops and landslides, a mine collapse site on Toby Creek, the Seven Tubs Nature Area, and the Pocono Raceway.
