The State Geologists annual meeting got underway yesterday in Deadwood, South Dakota, with committee meetings and kickoff icebreaker. The formal program started this morning with a keynote from Elizabeth Eide, from the National Research Council [right].  She described the challenges of mission realities, quoting Mick Jagger, "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need."
