Register of Chartered Fellows
Our newly reorganised web pages now carry a list of Chartered Geologists and Chartered Scientists. These are not, however, complete for several reasons and I would be grateful if Chartered Fellows would check the list to ensure that their name is there! If it is missing please let me know by email (E: [email protected]).
Fellows were first Chartered in 1990, so 2015 - in addition to being the 200th anniversary of William Smith’s great map and the Year of Mud - also marks the 25th Anniversary of Chartership by the Society.
