Antarctic Glaciers
Antarctic Glaciers is a fabulous resource for anyone interested in global glacial processes, landforms, and sedimentology – despite the name, this site extends way beyond Antarctica. It includes a wealth of educational resources, information on climate change and sea level rise, Antarctic data sets, a blog and opportunities to “ask a scientist” about anything to do with Antarctica and glacial systems.
Seds Online
Seds Online is a free-to-access resource that provides an interactive and accessible online platform for anyone, at any career stage, with an interest in sedimentology. It offers monthly webinars on the latest research (many of which are archived in a video library), opportunities for research students to present their work in a friendly and enthusiastic forum, teaching resources, and virtual conferences.
Carbonate World
Carbonate World is an online atlas with more than 800 images covering an extensive spectrum of carbonate textures, grain types, diagenetic features, depositional environments, and case studies. The images are organised in categories and subcategories (e.g., carbonate rock classification, skeletal grains, ooids, corals, burial diagenesis etc.) and frequently updated with new material.
Tidalites Scientific Group
The Tidalites Scientific Group is a free-to-join informal association of individuals who are interested in the dynamics of the water-level variations and water fluxes that are generated by tides, and also in the morphological features of modern and ancient sedimentary deposits that are produced by tidal currents. The group endorses thematic conferences, seminars, laboratory activities, PhD opportunities and annual field courses focused on modern and ancient tidal environments, including the organization of the Tidalites congress every four years.

IUGS
IAS is affiliated to the International Union of Geological Sciences, which promotes innovative research in geoscience and beyond, aligned with the International Science Council, upholds ethical standards, and promotes inclusivity, all while remaining dynamic and forward-thinking in shaping the future of geoscience.
Geological Digressions
Posts on Earth and planetary sciences, Art and Science and other digressions that focus on resources and science communication for students of all disciplines, particularly Geology.
EGU SSP Division
The Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology Division (SSP) of the European Geosciences Union focuses its activities on all aspects of the sedimentary record.
Geolodía
Geolodía is an outreach initiative featuring guided geological field trips led by geologists that are free and open to the general public. It takes place annually throughout Spain and some other countries on the first or second weekend of May. It allows participants to understand the workings of the planet we inhabit and on whose natural resources we depend, as well as the value of our geological heritage and the importance of protecting it.
