HGS is a geo-professional society supporting continuing education, networking, community outreach, and YP activities.
About us
The Houston Geological Society, or HGS, is a society for geoscience professionals, educators, students, and earth science enthusiasts of the Houston metropolitan area. Members of HGS include a cross-section of many disciplines of geology, geophysics, and engineering, with members of all ages and all levels of experience. Various committees of the HGS provide focused content for members, such as North American Explorationists, International Explorationists, and Environmental & Engineering Geology. Young professionals can connect with the NeoGeos. There is even a geographically designated group, the Northsiders, to accommodate members in our spread out community. The HGS offers a full calendar's worth of technical lunch and dinner meetings covering a variety of timely and relevant topics, as well as field trips, continuing education courses, and publications. The HGS has been affiliated with the AAPG since 1932 and has hosted both AAPG and GCAGS annual conventions in the Houston area on multiple occasions. The HGS also joins forces with the Geophysical Society of Houston (GSH) and the Society for Independent Professional Explorationists (SIPES), as well as other local geoscience societies of Texas and beyond. In addition, the HGS maintains two scholarship funds and recognizes outstanding students from a number of Texas universities. The HGS is managed by a membership-elected Board of Directors, a small staff based in Houston, and a vast volunteer network from the Houston geoscience community. Professional growth, education, volunteer opportunities, and networking are just a few of the rewards that come with participation in the HGS. The objectives of the society are: 1. To stimulate interest and promote advancement in the geosciences. 2. To disseminate and facilitate discussion of geological information. 3. To enhance professional interaction among geoscientists. 4. To aid and encourage academic training in the geosciences.
