Educational Posters

This section contains educational posters that deal with earth sciences related topics such as The Importance of Rocks and Minerals in Daily Life.

Earth Science Related Subjects

Posters in this section deal with earth science related topics of general interest - such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 - which created increased awareness of geo-hazards and the role earth sciences can play in their prediction and mitigation.

Exploration of Space

Although not strictly falling under the heading of “Earth Science”, the exploration of space, especially of our own solar system provides valuable information about the origins of our planet and the likelihood of finding another Earth. The Geological Survey therefore is producing a series of informative posters about current projects, including one about the role satellites have come to play in today’s society.

International Year of Planet Earth

As 2008 has been declared the International Year of Planet Earth by the United Nations, the Geological Survey has decided to promote this event and the awareness of Earth sciences in general with a series of posters and activities. Research topics that are supported by the International Year include Groundwater, Natural hazards, Earth & Health, Climate, Natural Resources, Megacities, Deep Earth and Ocean, which will be the subjects of future posters.
