The East Tennessee Geological Society is a
non-profit organization of nearly 100 geoscientists in East Tennessee. Most of
us live and work in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area, but we have members from
Memphis to the Tri-Cities area and beyond.
ETGS has held meetings in the Knoxville area since February 28, 1975. In recent
years, the Society has been maintained largely by geologists and hydrogeologists
working in the Oak Ridge environmental arena. However, our membership also
includes petroleum consultants, quarry geologists, gemologists, drilling
contractors, professors, students, and geologists currently working in other
fields.
We participate in ETGS to stay abreast of technical trends in the geosciences
and to take advantage of professional and social networking opportunities.
Society activities include monthly meetings, technical presentations, field
trips, and picnics. Depending on the requirements of your licensing board(s),
you may be able to earn professional-development credit for attending ETGS
meetings and field trips.
At each meeting, an invited
speaker gives a presentation about current research or a field project. Meetings
are rather informal and are generally held on the second Monday of the month
(September through May), although they may be rescheduled during holidays or
other special occasions. We strive to meet in a location as convenient as
possible for members in Knoxville and Oak Ridge.
The members of ETGS organize field trips once or twice each year. For more
information on past and future trips, see our field-trip page.
We hope you will join us at our next meeting and bring a friend or coworker.
Visitors are always welcome. Meeting notices are posted one to two weeks before each
meeting.
For additional information about ETGS, check out the rest of our web site. This site is intended to serve as a resource for the Society and
its members.
Finally, we invite you to join us. Annual memberships are a bargain at just $30
per individual, and $10 per student. Just
complete a form and bring it to the next meeting
with your dues. If you cannot attend the meeting, you may mail
membership them to the following
address. Whether you join at the meeting or by mail, please make sure we have at
least one current e-mail address.
