over 9,000 Fellows entitled to the title FGS (Fellow of the Geological
Society)
over 2,000 of whom are also chartered geologists (CGeol).
Membership is open to any geology graduates (greater than 25% earth
science subjects) but also to other graduates who are particularly inter-

A.3.3 International Association for Engineering
Geology and the Environment
The International Association for Engineering Geology and the
Environment (IAEG) was founded in 1964.
According to http://www.iaeg, the aims of the International
Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment are:
to promote and encourage the advancement of engineering
geology through technological activities and research
to improve teaching and training in engineering geology, and
to collect, evaluate and disseminate the results of engineering
geological activities on a worldwide basis.
A journal, The Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment ,
is produced, and the IAEG runs regular conferences and organises
commissions with the aim of improving practice.
A.3.4 British Geotechnical Association (BGA)
According to its website: http://bga.city.ac.uk th e British Geotechnical
Association (BGA) is the principal association for geotechnical engi-
neers in the United Kingdom. It performs the role of the ICE Ground
Board, as well as being the UK member of the International Society for
Soil Mechanics & Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and the
International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM).
The BGA organises renowned events like the annual Rankine Lecture,
as well as supporting young engineers and professional and technical
initiatives throughout the
field of geotechnics. Membership includes a
copy of themonthlymagazine GroundEngineering , which generally has
a practical bias with articles on topical subjects and case studies.
A.3.5 Association of Geotechnical and
Geoenvironmental Specialists
The Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists
(AGS) is a non-pro
