Since its founding in 1917, the American Association of Petroleum
Geologists (AAPG) has been a pillar of the world-wide scientific
community. The original purpose of AAPG, to foster scientific research,
to advance the science of geology, to promote technology, and to
inspire high professional conduct, still guides the Association
today. Currently the world's largest professional geological society
with over 30,000, AAPG provides publications,
conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and
disseminates the most current geological information available
to the general public.
