Geoscientists Canada

Geoscientists Canada is the national organization responsible for overseeing the certification and regulation of geoscientists—professionals who study Earth's processes, rocks, minerals, and soils. They set standards for education, experience, and ethics to ensure that geoscientists provide accurate and reliable work. By coordinating with provincial and territorial regulators, Geoscientists Canada helps maintain professional integrity and public trust in fields such as environmental assessment, resource exploration, and hazard mitigation. Their goal is to support qualified geoscientists in advancing sustainable development and informed decision-making related to Earth’s systems.
