As a result of Dokuchaev's research, many Russian terms became part of the international soil science vocabulary (for example, chernozem, podsol, gley, solonets). A crater on Mars is named after him, and the Dokuchaev Award, an equivalent of the Nobel Prize in the field of Soil Science, was instituted by the International Union of Soil Sciences ...
An award was named after her in 2007 – The Doris Malkin Curtis Medal. This award was created to acknowledge multiple contributions to the field of geology in the Gulf of Mexico along with other contributions globally – specifically on the topic of basins.

The Consensus advocates for a renewed perception and definition of humanity's role in the world, calling for concerted actions from global universities, research institutions, primary and secondary schools, and all sectors of society to implement the new geoscience education and promote harmonious co-existence between man and nature.
The society has about 600 Ordinary, Affiliate, Student and Life Members. No qualifications are required for membership, and the members have a wide range of backgrounds and interests, including senior earth sciences academics, professionals, researchers and students, lecturers and teachers, members of local geological societies and those with a general interest in geology and the environment.
Environmental geology, like hydrogeology, is an applied science concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems created by man. It is a multidisciplinary field that is closely related to engineering geology and, to a lesser extent, to environmental geography . [ 1 ]
The journal was established in 1953 as the Journal of the Geological Society of Australia and obtained its current name in 1984.
