About the Geological Society of Sweden

In 1871, a group of geologists working at the Geological Survey of Sweden, at that time in Stockholm, founded a geological society named “Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm” (‘the Geological Society in Stockholm’), the first of its kind in Sweden. In response to its character and function as the national geological society it was renamed “Geologiska Föreningen” in 1976, its name in English being “The Geological Society of Sweden”.

The Council of the Geological Society of Sweden in 2017 consists of the following members:

President: Pär Weihed, Luleå

Secretary: Christina Wanhainen, Luleå
Treasurer: Linus Brander, Göteborg
Editor: Christian Skovsted, Stockholm
Other members: Kärstin Malmberg Persson, Lund; Paul Evins, Stockholm.
