The Geological Society: Open House

Geologists are the architects of our understanding of Earth, constantly reshaping our perception of the world.

Immerse yourself in the rich history of the Society and the mesmerising tales housed within its walls.

Explore the amazing William Smith map, a masterpiece that revolutionised geological understanding. Smith, a pioneering geologist, crafted the first Geological Map of the UK, using bright colours to show different rock layers and connected fossils with rock types.

His innovative approach, linking fossils to rock formations, unlocked the secrets of Earth's history, laying the groundwork for modern geological exploration.

But what exactly is Geology? It's the science that delves into Earth's physical structure and substance, its intricate history, and the dynamic processes that shape it.
