Geological Association
The Geological Association ( GV ) was an association of German and international geoscientists (1910) based in Bonn . The German Geological Society - Geological Association (DGGV) was created in 2015 through its merger with a similar society .

The Geological Association e. V. was founded on January 8, 1910 in the Senckenberg Nature Museum in Frankfurt am Main and existed independently until December 31, 2014. The first chairman was the geologist and paleontologist Friedrich Heinrich Emanuel Kayser . Eduard Suess was made honorary chairman in 1910.
In 2013 the association had around 1,600 members in 64 countries.
The aim of the professional society was to promote and disseminate knowledge in the field of geosciences and to discuss the results of current research. She also looked after the geologist's archive in Freiburg im Breisgau .
The Geological Association has awarded the Gustav Steinmann Medal since 1938 and the Hans Cloos Prize since 2000 to honor outstanding scientists. To promote the next generation of researchers, university courses on special topics were promoted and excursions to geologically interesting areas were carried out.
The internationally renowned journal International Journal of Earth Sciences (until May 1, 1999: Geologische Rundschau ) is published by Springer-Verlag and has been published by the association since 1910. After a scientific peer review process, articles from numerous fields of geosciences were published, mainly on European regional geology, petrology , stratigraphy , sedimentology , paleontology and geophysics .
On January 1, 2015, the Geological Association merged with the German Society for Geosciences (DGG), founded in 2004, to form the new company: German Geological Society - Geological Association (DGGV). From January 2015 until the DGGV annual meeting in October 2015, the management consists of Reinhard Gaupp as chairman of the DGGV and Gernold Zulauf , Ralf Littke , Heinz-Gerd Röhling and Gerhard Greiner as members of the management.
