You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the new horizons
in geosciences. The value proposition of a geologist in society is well
established over the years with careers in the oil & gas, construction, and
mining industries. With the advent of new technologies driven by societal
demands, so has the role of the field of geology. This workshop will highlight
new roles in the field of geosciences such as with technologies such as
geologic carbon sequestration, white hydrogen exploration & development,
deep bore hole isolation of spent nuclear fuels, bulk energy storage (both air &
water), and district groundwater heating and cooling.
Details on how to register TBA.

EXCITING NEWS
We are excited about some new business adopted including accepting requests to compensate registered students with taking the Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG) Fundamental of Geology Examination. The examination is offered in the fall in Montgomery. There is a deadline to sign up for the ASBOG. Students are asked to submit a letter to the Board specifying their intention to take the examination. Upon completion of the examination, and with proof of taking the examination, students will be compensated for the $150.00 registration fee. This decision was made to support one of our new mission goals that states: to act as a bridge between students and early career professionals by providing support through these stages of career development. Please send an email with your information to the AGS President.
