Our Views

This is the section of our website where you can find out about debate, within the Society and the wider scientific community, and the contributions we make to broader debates and decision making processes in matters of public policy.  None of this is possible without the involvement of our Fellows and the wider Earth science community - we hope that you will join in!

A unique 'natural laboratory' in the Mediterranean Sea is giving a glimpse into the future of our oceans, which face mass extinctions unless action is taken to reduce CO2 emissions.

Letters to the Society are published here first - a selection is then published in Geoscientist magazine each month.  Read correspondence on electronic journals, and recollections of pioneering Indian geologist D N Wadia.

Got a geological question buzzing round your head? About the Earth, the planets, geological time, fossils, anything! With our Ask a Geologist service you can email your question to askageologist@geolsoc.org.uk.
