Society of Economic Geologists

The Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) is a professional organization dedicated to the study of mineral resources and the science behind their exploration, extraction, and sustainable management. Founded in 1920, it brings together geologists, researchers, and industry professionals to advance knowledge in economic geology—the branch that focuses on the formation and distribution of minerals that are valuable for economic use, such as metals and fuels. SEG supports education, research, and networking opportunities, fostering collaboration to improve practices in mining and resource management while considering environmental and social impacts.
