About

Geology for Global Development (GfGD) is a UK-based organisation, founded by Joel Gill, working to support young geologists to make an effective contribution to international development. Through this blog we’ll be sharing articles, discussions, photographs and news about our work - all relating to the application of geology to the fight against global poverty. Many of the blogs we publish are written by guest authors, allowing young geoscientists from around the world to have their say. Do get in touch if you’d like to contribute.
