Members of the Society are welcome to join any of our Specialist Groups, known as Professional and Scientific Interest Groups (PSIGs), as well as our Affiliated Groups (AGs). Please note that affiliated groups are external organisations not managed by the Society, and may charge an additional fee for membership.
All Specialist Groups are represented on the Science Committee, which oversees activity by the groups via our Special Groups Sub-Committee.Â
There are many benefits to joining a Specialist Group, including preferential access to use of Burlington House for group meetings and events. Groups can find out more in their handbooks, or by contacting venuehire@geolsoc.org.uk for further information about services and spaces available.
I had the privilege of joining the committee of the Hydrogeological Specialist Group, where I subsequently assumed the role of secretary. This opportunity has enabled me to expand my professional network, connecting with hydrogeologists from outside my organisation and gaining valuable insights into the broader issues and policies affecting the industry. It has also greatly contributed to my continued professional development (CPD), providing a breadth of learning beyond my day-to-day role.
