Since its formation in 1858, the Geologists’ Association (GA) actively promotes the study of geology to all who are interested in the past, present and future of the natural world. It is a friendly and inclusive organisation and welcomes everyone, regardless of the level of their knowledge.
The Association is governed by a Council of up to 24 members and administered by the Executive Secretary and an Administrative Assistant. The GA has a diverse membership, drawn from across the UK and overseas, a wide network of Affiliated and Local groups and a nationwide club for young geologists and their families – Rockwatch.
The GA publishes a quarterly journal (the GA Magazine), the Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association and an on-going series of geological field guides. Financial support is available from a variety of benefactor's Funds (e.g. the Curry Fund) to support research, geoconservation and deserving students and to enhance the public understanding and enjoyment of geology.

IGI was formed in 1999 in order to promote the geosciences in Ireland and to represent the professional interests of its members. Membership is open to all practising geoscientists who meet the required standards of qualification and experience, and the IGI operates with the support of all the major geoscience based technical societies.
The IGI also recognises the importance of promoting the status and use of geology and geoscience in industry and in the community in general. Among the ways this can be achieved are in the responsible development of our natural resources, in development of our infrastructure and in the extension of academic knowledge.

The International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG), founded in 2012, is a multidisciplinary scientific platform for widening awareness and discussion of ethical issues in the geosciences, and the ethical, social and cultural implications of Earth science education, research and practice.
The IAPG promotes geoethics as a new way of thinking and practicing geosciences, while respecting Earth processes and resources. Its network allows geoscientists all over the world to collaborate and share opinions, experiences, ideas, and information on geoethical issues, with the aim of increasing awareness about their social role and responsibility in conducting geoscientific activities.
The IAPG develops andpromotes geoethics principles through activities such as the organization of sessions in conferences, and the publication of peer-reviewed articles and books, fostering the dissemination of geoethics within the scientific and professional community and society as a whole. The IAPG pursues its goals through collaborations with international associations and institutions. The IAPG is a not-for-profit association funded by donations.

The Society, instituted in 1876, has the general object of advancing the knowledge of the science of mineralogy and its application to other subjects including crystallography, geochemistry, petrology, environmental science and economic geology.
Many activities centre around its eight special interest groups, three of which are joint with the Geological Society. The society publishes scientific journals, books and monographs. Its journals are Mineralogical Magazine, an international journal of mineral sciences, published six times a year, which covers the fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, petrology, environmental geology and economic geology and Clay Minerals, which includes papers on Earth processes, soil science, geology/mineralogy, chemistry/material science, colloid/surface science, applied science and technology and health/ environment topics.
In conjunction with other societies worldwide, the Society publishes ‘Elements’, a bimonthly international magazine of mineralogy, geochemistry and petrology.
