Welcome to the Swansea University Geoscience Society
Who we are?
We founded this society out of a passion for geoscience, also known as earth science. While studying, we felt there was a gap for academic student-to-student support within the geography department, which covers environmental science, physical and human geography, and of course geoscience degrees. We aim to show geoscience is not just about rocks and fossils; it is the study of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of planet Earth. It is a focal part of life and key to both the past and present. We aim to bring you interesting geological adventures, and we look forward to collaborating with other societies and organisations to bring you the best support and fun to aid your studies, interests, and time here at Swansea University.
We are also very lucky to have a great sponsor, Earth Science Partnership, and work closely with the South Wales Geologist Association, giving links for our members with employment and further academia support.
