Geology for Society
and the Environment

Whether it be for access to water, energy, minerals, or agricultural resources, geoscientific knowledge is critical to the success of human existence everywhere.

Geology in the Public Interest is a Seattle-based nonprofit whose mission is to enhance and expand applications of geoscience in service of the common good and to aid in local and regional efforts to advance resilience and sustainability.

How you can help.

Geologists and engineers are needed to solve earth science-related problems that affect indigenous peoples and the environment. There are several ways you can be a part of the solution. Become a GPI volunteer and help us!

“This is a future in which children don’t need to take to the streets in protest and alarm, because their parents and grandparents took action. Instead, they are climbing trees.”— Emma Marris

Geologists dig the truth.

It is our children’s world for which we are working.

Gifts are absolutely vital to help us fulfill our mission. All donations and revenues will be used to fund existing programs and develop new programs and services consistent with GPI's mission. Thank you for your support!

“Geoscience is for anyone who likes to look at the world around them and ask why; it is how we take in and give meaning to our surroundings. The first step in protecting this ever-changing planet involves curiosity—in the hopes that we can learn to understand the hows, the whys, and the dynamics of the earth.”
