Girls into Geoscience is becoming more than just an event
It has become a network, supporting women in geology and those aspiring to be. Get involved!
This exciting two day event, with optional field trip to see the fantastic local geology, will introduce female A level students to the Earth Sciences and demonstrate the world of careers open to Earth science graduates today.
