SOCIETY PURPOSE

TO PROMOTE THE SCIENCE OF GEOLOGY AND ALLIED EARTH SCIENCES

The organization works and supports initiatives to advance the science and profession of geology and related fields, including raising public awareness on Earth’s dynamic systems and natural events that impact the society. This goal is attained through the conduct of trainings, symposia, local and international conferences, seminars and online education activities such as webinars and discussion forums.

TO FOSTER THE SPIRIT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The GSP encourages its members to pursue scientific research to generate new knowledge and scientific data that contribute to a better understanding of the geology and tectonics of the Philippines, in particular, and geosciences, in general. The annual Geological Convention (GeoCon) provides a good opportunity for the exchange of ideas among Filipino and foreign geoscientists. Significant contributions and advances in the field have also been documented in the Journal of the Geological Society of the Philippines.

TO DISSEMINATE KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING THE GEOLOGY OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE REGIONS IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING IT

GSP organizes and supports forums that inform its members of the latest ideas and developments in the study of Philippine tectonics, Asian tectonics and related topics like metallogenesis, seismology and geohazards, among others.

TO PROTECT AND MAINTAIN A HIGH PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL STANDARD IN THE PRACTICE OF GEOLOGY AMONGST ITS MEMBERS

Geology is a noble profession requiring high degree of morality, technical knowledge and personal responsibility to co-professionals, employers and clients, and to the community
