In collaboration with the Spanish Geological Society (Sociedad Geológica de España or SGE), the Institute has drawn up a list of internationally important geosites in Spain. This work, which began in 1999, is part of the Global Geosites project promoted by the International Union of Geological Sciences in the 1990s and subsequently supported ...
The museum is located in the headquarters of the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. The building was designed by Spanish architect Francisco Javier de Luque, and built between 1921 and 1925. The contents of the museum are displayed in 250 showcases on the ground floor of the building and three perimeter balconies. [4]
The Mexican Geological Society (in Spanish: Sociedad Geológica Mexicana) is a Mexican learned society founded in 1904. [1] Among the founders was geologist Dr. José G.

The Colombian Geological Survey (CGS) (Spanish: Servicio Geológico Colombiano; [3] formerly known as INGEOMINAS) is a scientific agency of the Colombian government in charge of contributing to the socioeconomic development of the nation through research in basic and applied geosciences of the subsoil, the potential of its resources, evaluating and monitoring threats of geological origin ...
This led to Lyell's concept of geological history being developed. His book Elements of Geology from 1830 to 1833, was translated into Spanish by Ezquerra del Bayo in 1847. This was used as a textbook, as it was the first modern geology text available for the general public in Spain. This spread Lyell's ideas and terminology. [50]
"Geoheritage encompasses global, national, statewide, and local features of geology, at all scales that are intrinsically important sites or culturally important sites offering information or insights into the evolution of the Earth; or into the history of science, or that can be used for research, teaching, or reference."
The Mexican Geological Survey developed a database containing geological mining exploration maps at scales of 1:250,000,and 1:50,000. The database was launched in 2003 and contains information of all geological and geochemical maps. [4]
A geological survey is the systematic investigation of the geology beneath a given piece of ground for the purpose of creating a geological map or model.Geological surveying employs techniques from the traditional walk-over survey, studying outcrops and landforms, to intrusive methods, such as hand augering and machine-driven boreholes, to the use of geophysical techniques and remote sensing ...
