Geological Society at SIO
Our goal is to provide informative and fun resources for undergraduates interested in the Earth Sciences. How do we plan to do this? By organizing field trips to relevant localities accompanied by SIO professors, inviting SIO professors and researchers to briefly present their research, inviting grads and undergrads to present their research, and holding frequent meetings to bring those interested in the Earth Sciences together. The prospect of bringing all our beloved Earth-nerds together to create a sense of community really makes us happy!
