Geology

The AGI provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in their 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.

The purpose of AIH is to enhance and strengthen the standing of hydrology as a science and a profession by: establishing standards and procedures to certify individuals qualified in surface-water, groundwater and water-quality hydrology; establishing and maintaining ethical standards to protect the public from irresponsible work; providing education and training in hydrology; and providing the public and government advice and guidance concerning activities related to the hydrologic profession.

Representing geologists from all 50 states, the AASG seeks to advance the science and practical application of geology and related earth sciences in the United States. This site also provides links to each state's Geological Survey.

Maintained by the Geology Department of the University of North Carolina, this webpage provides images and descriptions of various rocks and minerals.

Contains two categories of primary and secondary publications: writings about research in ecology and natural resources conducted by University of Wisconsin faculty and staff; and unique or valuable titles in these fields held by the University of Wisconsin Libraries.

The GSA is a professional society that supports the global community in scientific discovery, communication, and application of geoscience knowledge and promotes research, discovery, service, and stewardship.

This website, updated daily, provides earth science news and information.

This list, created by Geologydegree.org, provides links to websites that present modern geological and hydrological research, discussions, and more.

Based on the glossary in Earth: an Introduction to Geologic Change by S. Judson and S.M. Richardson, this webpage created by Iowa State University Department of Geological & Atmospheric Sciences provides easy access to key geologic terms and their definitions.

An outreach project of the Hudson Institute of Mineralogy, mindat.org's mission is to promote, support, protect, and expand the collection of mineral specimens and to further the recognition of the scientific, economic, and aesthetic value of minerals and collecting mineral specimens.

This webpage is designed to be an initial gateway to and repository for the NPS's paleontological resource literature.

Produced by the University of California Museum of Paleontology, the Paleontological Society, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, and the United States Geological Survey, this site provides a portal to paleontological information on the Internet.

As the sole science agency for the Department of the Interior, the USGS provides information, data, and resources about natural hazards, water, energy, minerals, the impacts of climate and land-use change, and the health of the ecosystem and environment.

This site provides a searchable database of photographs and information about the 6300 minerals, gems, and gemstones housed in the Vargas Collection at the University of Texas at Austin.

The WGNHS serves Wisconsin by providing objective scientific information about the geology, mineral resources, and water resources of Wisconsin.
