The commemorative album marking 100 Years of the Geological Service in Greece is a landmark compendium for Earth sciences in the country. It records the people, studies, and events that played a pivotal role in Greece’s broader economic and cultural development.
In essence, it serves as a repository of memory for those who led geological and mining research in service of the Greek state—and a legacy for the next generation of scientists. Within its pages you’ll find maps and documents of historical importance and, above all, the individuals who were instrumental in “organizing a service dedicated to geological matters.”
A century after Geological Services began operating in Greece, the Hellenic Survey for Geological & Mineral Exploration (H.S.G.M.E.) takes up the torch as the scientific vanguard, with a constant focus on innovation, openness, and public service.
“Dedicated to the pioneers and to all who labored in the field of Geology and mining research in our country.”
