As many of you know, the Lafayette Geological Society has four main objectives. They are to advance Geology as a Science and profession, to promote fellowship between members and others interested in geological problems, to foster high standards of education and ethics among members and students, and to encourage public appreciation of the utility and application of geologic science.

By WebAdmin, on February 10th, 2020

Abstract:

Geologists, the Public, and Public Policy: What Are Our Ethical Responsibilities?
