Geology
- American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) - AAPG was formed in 1917. Its purpose is to foster the spirit of scientific research among its members and to advance the science of geology -- particularly as it relates to petroleum, natural gas, other subsurface fluids, and mineral resources.
- American Crystallographic Association (ACA) - The American Crystallographic Association (ACA) was founded in 1949 through a merger of the American Society for X-Ray and Electron Diffraction (ASXRED) and the Crystallographic Society of America (CSA). The objective of the ACA is to promote interactions among scientists who study the structure of matter at atomic (or near atomic) resolution.
- The American Geological Institute (AGI) - AGI, a federation of 31 geoscience societies, provides information and education services to its members, promoting a united voice for the geoscience community.
- American Geophysical Union (AGU) - American Geophysical Union is an international scientific society with more than 35,000 members in over 115 countries. For over 75 years, AGU researchers, teachers, and science administrators have dedicated themselves to advancing the understanding of Earth and its environment in space and making the results available to the public.
- Association of American State Geologists (AASG) - The Association of American State Geologists (AASG) is an organization of the chief executives of the state geological surveys in 50 states and Puerto Rico. The responsibilities of the various state surveys differ from state to state, depending upon the enabling legislation and the traditions under which the survey evolved. Almost all function as a basic information source for their state governments' executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
- Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) - The CSEG was founded in 1949 with the mandate of furthering the knowledge and practice of geophysics and to promote fellowship and co-operation among our members
- Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists - The objectives of The Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG) are to promote the science of geology, especially as it relates to petroleum and natural gas exploration and exploitation, to foster the spirit of scientific research throughout its membership, and to promote a public awareness of the need for professional and well trained scientists.
- Computer Oriented Geological Society (COGS) - The Computer Oriented Geological Society (COGS) helps geologists using computers in the geosciences. It conveys information of interest to all geological disciplines, and provides a forum for individuals to share their experiences with other geologists. COGS was founded in 1982 in Denver, Colorado, USA, and worldwide membership has grown to more than 1000. All geologists interested in learning more about using computers for technical purposes are invited to join the society.
- Geological Society of America GSA - Established in 1888, The Geological Society of America 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.
- Geoscience Information Society (GIS) - Founded in 1965, the Geoscience Information Society (GIS) is a professional organization created to improve the exchange of information in the geosciences. To achieve this goal, GIS encourages interaction and cooperation among scientists, librarians, editors, cartographers, educators, and information professionals.
- Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists (RMAG) - The Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists is a nonprofit organization whose purposes are to promote interest in geology and allied sciences and their practical application, to foster scientific research and to encourage fellowship and cooperation among its members.
- Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) - The Society of Economic Geologists, Inc., (SEG) is an international organization of individual members with interests in the field of economic geology. The Society's membership includes scientists from industry, academia, and government institutions. Annual meetings, publications, field conferences, and short courses ensure an active communication of economic geology-related concepts within the membership.
- Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) - With over 14,000 members, the Society of Exploration Geophysicists' objectives are to promote the science of geophysics, especially as it relates to exploration and research, to foster the common scientific interests of geophysicists, and to maintain a high professional standing among its members.
- Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM) - SEPM is an international not-for-profit Society based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. SEPM, through its network of 5,400 members, is dedicated to the dissemination of scientific information on sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, environmental sciences, marine geology, hydrogeology, and many additional related specialties.
- Utah Geological Association - Established in 1970 by a merger of the Utah Geological Society and the Intermountain Association of Geologists. The 1997 Membership total is 212.
