| Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy | AusIMM is a professional institute representing individuals and companies in all sectors of the mineral resource industries. |
| Australian Geoscience Council | The Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) is the Peak Council of geoscientists in Australia. It represents eight major Australian geoscientific societies with a total membership of over 7000 individuals comprising industry, government and academic professionals in the fields of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, mineral and petroleum exploration, environmental geoscience, hydrogeology and geological hazards. |
| Australian Land and Groundwater Association | ALGA was formed in July 2007 to provide a forum and identity for the Australasian contaminated land and groundwater industry, and to support the many professionals working in the field. The core focus of this association is to support advances in the prevention, assessment and remediation of contaminated land and groundwater. |
| Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists | ASEG is a learned society of propfessional geoscientists specialising in the application of geophysics in understanding Earth systems |
| Geological Society of Australia | GSA is a learned society that publishes the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences |
| Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia | The Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia is a non-profit association of individuals involved in the exploration of oil and gas. |
| SMEDG | Sydney Mineral Exploration Discussion Group. SMEDG holds regular technical meetings and social functions for mineral exploration geoscientists in the Sydney, Australia region. SMEDG is supported by AIG |

| American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) | Since its founding in 1917, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists has been a pillar of the worldwide scientific community. The original purpose of AAPG, to foster scientific research, to advance the science of geology, to promote technology, and to inspire high professional conduct, still guides the Association today. AAPG provides publications, conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and disseminates the most current geological information available to the general public. |
| American Geosciences Institute | AGI is a nonprofit federation of geoscientific and professional associations that represents more than 250,000 geologists, geophysicists, and other earth scientists. AIG is an AGI affiliate. |
| American Institute of Professional Geologists | The American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG), founded in 1963, is the largest U.S. association dedicated to promoting geology as a profession. It presently has more than 7,000 members in the U.S. and abroad, organized into 36 regional Sections. The Institute adheres to the principles of professional responsibility and public service and is the only international organization that certifies the competence and ethical conduct of geological scientists in all branches of the science with members employed in industry, government, and academia. AIPG emphasizes competence, integrity and ethics. AIPG is an advocate for the profession and communicates regularly to federal and state legislators and agencies on matters pertaining to the geosciences. |
| European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers | The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) is a multi-disciplinary professional association for geoscientists and engineers. It was founded in 1951 and has a worldwide membership. |
| European Federation of Geologists | The European Federation of Geologists is a non-governmental organization that was established in 1981 and includes today 22 national association members. EFG is a professional organisation whose main aims are to contribute to a safer and more sustainable use of the natural environment, to protect and inform the public and to promote a more responsible exploitation of natural resources. AIG is an associated society of EFG. Click here to access the European Federation of Geologists Journal. |
| SEPM: The Society for Sedimentary Geology | SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology) is an international not-for-profit Society based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Through its network of international members, the Society is dedicated to the dissemination of scientific information on sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleontology, environmental sciences, marine geology, hydrogeology, and many additional related specialties. |
| SME: Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration | SME is organized into seven distinct divisions to better serve the diverse needs of its members. When joining SME, members select the division that matches their professional interests most closely. |
| The Geological Society | The Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. It is the UK national society for geoscience, and the oldest geological society in the world. |
| The Geological Society of America | Established in 1888, The Geological Society of America provides access to elements that are essential to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors: academic, government, business, and industry. GSA’s growing membership unites thousands of earth scientists from every corner of the globe in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet and share scientific findings. |
