Aims of the GA

GA History GA Council GA Contacts

The Geologists' Association (GA) exists for all geologists and earth scientists, whether professional or amateur. It acts as a forum for the exchange of information, and it is a way for enthusiasts of all ages to meet people with similar interests.

The GA runs field trips, lectures, and festivals that are open to all, and it publishes a lively news magazine, an informative 'what's on' leaflet, and a professional scientific journal. It recognizes the contributions of amateur and professional earth scientists through the award of medals and prizes.

The GA is committed to engagement and outreach, bringing the latest information about the Earth, its past, present and future, to all. Rockwatch, the nationwide geology club and junior arm of the GA, engages thousands of children each year in hands-on events, in museums and other centres, and runs field trips for its members and their families around the country. Through its Curry Fund, the GA has provided some £250,000 over the past 20 years to fund initiatives in geological conservation, education and research around the country, providing support to clubs, societies, organisations and individuals.
