In addition to opportunities to do field work, there are talks, revision and social events organised both nationally and locally.
A weekend Symposium is held annually at which world class speakers are invited to give talks on a wide range of geological topics. OUGS members regularly take part in outreach activities in their local communities - bringing the subject to the general public - often with special activities for children. Join us in this - it is very rewarding!

You will need to visit our Membership Services area. |
The OUGS operates from 18 branches throughout the UK and Europe and has over 2000 members. Branches are managed locally and provide a focus for students and enthusiasts in their area. Do you want to find your local branch? Independent study can be an isolating activity. The OUGS provides a forum for likeminded people to come together and enjoy the study of geology. However, membership is open to all, not just Open University students and staff. Are you interested in finding out more about this dynamic Society? |
The OUGS Journal is produced twice annually:
- one issue containing research papers and field trip notes submitted by members
- the other is the Symposium Edition, containing a synopsis of each talk given at the annual symposium.
Download the Index to Journal articles or read on screen:
The Society Newsletter is published six times a year, containing Society news, the events list, and articles of geological interest written by members. Key articles of general interest are reproduced on this web site.
Each OUGS Branch has its own local newsletter as a forum for the local group activities and social events. |
