LinkedIn also have dicussion facility, which will be useful for FOSI members to communicate to each other.

There are 114 members to date and they are located in different countries across the world. FOSI’s members also have various background but mostly are geologist or geophysicist and some are highly experienced specialists. There are students in the group, too!

We encourage anyone whose interest in sedimentology, sedimentary geology or basin analysis to join FOSI through LinkedIn. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account yet, get one for yourself, it’s FREE of charge. Joining FOSI is also FREE….

So, come onboard! Visit http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=3304522
