Welcome to IGS

!!!Welcome to the webpage for the Illinois Geological Society (IGS)! The IGS was founded in 1937 and is an affiliated society of the American Association of Petroleum Geologist serving all professional geologists working in the Illinois Basin. We are a non-profit, scientific organization that hosts monthly seminars related geologic topics. Meetings are held between the months from September to May (except December). Seminars are usually related to hydrocarbon exploration but also include general geologic topics. In addition, the IGS organizes field trips and workshops, co-hosts conferences, and awards scholarships to students studying geology. If you are interested in joining the IGS, please check out the Membership page or attend the next meeting. We look forward to meeting...
