Geology is the science of the Earth, its properties and processes throughout time. Geology play a vital role in many aspects of society such as; water and food supply, technology, infrastructure, natural disasters, natural resources and more. Geology is everywhere so let's discover geology in school.

For teachers and educators

We want more geology in schools. We therefore provide exercises, tutorials and presentations that can be applied directly in the classroom. The material is free of charge and available to download. We also distribute a package of posters and brochures about geology that can be ordered for free. In addition, we invite teachers and their students to participate in our annual school competition with the chance to win up to 10 000 SEK and a lesson with a geologist.

For students contemplating a path in Earth sciences

A geologist can work in many fields, such as bedrock geology, palaeontology, marine geology and quaternary geology. Geology can also be included in interdisciplinary fields such as some engineering programs, environmental sciences and geography. A geologists workplace can be indoors or outdoors, in businesses, government agencies or research.
