The Utah Geological Association (UGA) is a non-profit
organization of geologists and other geoscientists that share a common interest
in Utah's geology. The purpose of the UGA is to increase and disperse geological
information to the scientific community, and promote public awareness of the
usefulness of geology in general. The UGA does this through the voluntary
efforts of its members by holding a monthly lunch meeting that includes a
lecture, the yearly publication of a geologic guidebook, conducting a yearly
field trip, and other educational activities. |
