Energy Geology

The Energy Geology Division (est. 1954) of the Geological Society of America consists of members worldwide from all facets of the geological community including state and national geological surveys, academia and industry. Its purpose is to provide a suitable forum for presentation of scientific papers and discussion of problems of mutual interest in the geologic study of energy resources, to stimulate research and interchange of scientific information about energy resources and related issues within the wide range of their geologic significance, and to act as an organized group in promoting these objectives within the framework of the Geological Society of America.

The Energy Geology Division of GSA sponsors three major awards recognizing outstanding contributions, including the Gilbert H. Cady Award and the Antoinette Lierman Medlin Scholarship in the field of coal geology, and the Curtis-Hedberg Award in the field of petroleum geology.
