Welcome to the Geological Society at the University of Houston.

We are a non-profit organization founded in 1998 by a group of geosciences students at the University of Houston. Since, we have organized a number of community outreach activities, networking events, and annual field trips to expose our members to the field and promote their involvement in the geosciences community. Our members include undergraduate and graduate students of Geology, Geophysics, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.

This fall 2010, our group has been involved in expanding our community outreach agenda. GeoSociety volunteers annually at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences's Earth Science week event. Here we have the opportunity to interact with the public and work with organizations such as HGS, NeoGeos, GSA, and HGMS.

As part of a continuing tradition, GeoSociety will be hosting a geology winter field trip scheduled for January 2011. In the past, GeoSociety has taken students to locations such as the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains, and Southern California. This year's location has yet to been chosen. These winter trips give our students introductory exposure to the field; which is key to understanding the concepts taught in the classrooms.
