Beginning in 1888 with just over 100 members, to today serving more than 25,500 members worldwide, The Geological Society of America is proud to be celebrating its 125th Anniversary this year. During this celebration year, we plan on looking at how far we have come over the last 50 years, viewing results of scientific and technological advances, as well as looking at predictions for future progress.
Throughout our 125th website, you will find information on the many activities and opportunities that are being planned, along with ways for you to engage and give back. You can also explore the history of how The Geological Society of America became one of the world’s leading scientific societies that it is today.
Many events, publications, and special opportunities are being planned throughout this entire year. We hope you are able to celebrate with us along the way.
GSA members and friends are encouraged to contribute!
Be a part of GSA history and plan or participate in so many activities:
- Give 125 “somethings” to help expand the Society’s reach in mission-critical programs, education, and outreach.
- Drink Wine
GSA is celebrating with this Lava Cap wine, nourished by the prime volcanic soil of the Sierra Nevada Foothills. As geologists themselves, the Jones winemaking family appreciates GSA’s interests in Earth’s history, processes, and resources.
