Mineral Resources, Mining and Environment - Grand Format

The Commission for the Geological Map of the World (CGMW) is issued from the oldest geoscience organization in the World, the International Geological Congress (IGC) created in Paris in 1878. The idea of the Commission was first postulated in 1910 at the 11th IGC in Stockholm and took form in 1913 at the 12th IGC in Toronto. It is a non-profit-making scientific and educational association governed by French law and based in Paris, responsible for designing, promoting, coordinating, preparing and publishing small-scale thematic (geology, tectonics, ore deposits, natural resources, climate, etc.) Earth Science maps of continents, major regions, and oceans.
The CGMW is affiliated to the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) and to the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). Geological Surveys (or similar organizations reponsible for national geological mapping) of countries and territories throughout the World are Statutory Members of the CGMW.
