The Michigan Basin
Geological Society was founded in 1936 as an affiliated non-profit organization
of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) to provide a forum
for the exchange of ideas relating to the field of petroleum geology through
field excursions and meetings. Throughout the last sixty years, the role of the
society within the scientific community has changed, and both meetings and
field excursions now address a wide range of topics pertaining to the study of
geology. The society holds regular monthly meetings often in conjunction with
societies having similar interests. Special effort is made from the founding of
the society to hold annual field excursions with accompanying guidebooks.
Membership includes industry, governmental and academic professionals and is
open to anyone interested in geology.
