●  American Geosciences Institute

AGI was founded in 1948, under a directive of the National Academy of Sciences, as a network of associations representing geoscientists with a diverse array of skills and knowledge of our planet. The Institute provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in our profession, plays a major role in strengthening geoscience education, and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in society’s use of resources, resilience to natural hazards, and the health of the environment.

●  Association of American State Geologist-List of State Geological Surveys

This link takes you to a handy interactive map of the United States and Puerto Rico, where clicking on any one will take you straight to the Geological Survey site for that state. Not only useful for exploring information for your state, but also for any other you might want to visit, or on which you might want to research in anticipation of an upcoming visit.

●  Geological Society of America

To be the premier geological society supporting the global community in scientific discovery, communication, and application of geoscience knowledge. (GSA) is a global professional society with a membership of more than 20,000 individuals in more than 100 countries. GSA provides access to elements that are essential to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors: academic, government, business, and industry. The Society unites thousands of earth scientists from every corner of the globe in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet (and beyond) and share scientific findings.

●  Mineralogical Society of America

●  U. S. Geological Survey

We provide science about the natural hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods; the water, energy, minerals, and other natural resources we rely on; the health of our ecosystems and environment; and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Our scientists develop new methods and tools to supply timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.

●  Geological Association of Canada
