The Geological Society of Hong Kong is dedicated to promoting the understanding of geology and its importance in our daily lives.
GSHK is a non-profit making organisation that aims to enhance geological interests and studies in Hong Kong. We believe that geological knowledge is indispensable for achieving a sustainable community, and therefore ought to be widely promoted to the general public.
At The Geological Society of Hong Kong, our mission is to foster a community of geology enthusiasts and professionals, providing them with the knowledge and resources to explore and appreciate the wonders of the Earth.
The Geological Society of Hong Kong (GSHK) was established by a group of local geologists in 1982 with an aim to advance geological sciences in Hong Kong and to provide a platform for both professionals and amateurs to meet. Since then, GSHK holds regularly geological conferences and seminars, and organises local and overseas field trips for both members and non-members to explore the geological world.
At present, the society maintains a steady membership of about 250, including professional geologists from the public and private sectors, academia, as well as teachers, students and amateurs. The Society maintains a long-term cooperation with HKSAR Government Agencies.
