Geological Society of London

The Geological Society of London, established in 1807, is the oldest geological society in the world. It promotes the study of geology, the science of the Earth, its materials, processes, and history. The Society supports research, public education, and the professional development of geologists. It also publishes scientific journals and organizes meetings and conferences to share knowledge within the geological community. By advancing understanding of geological issues, such as natural resources and climate change, the Society plays a crucial role in both academic circles and public policy.
