Adelaide University Geological Society (AUGS)

The Adelaide University Geological Society (AUGS) is a student-run society. Welcome to the Adelaide University Geological Society (AUGS) Facebook.

We are a student run society associated with the Adelaide University Union (AUU). AUGS is run by 3rd year undergraduate students majoring in Geology, Geophysics and/or Environmental Science. We are dedicated to all geology students and faculty at the University of Adelaide. The aims of the Society are to encourage a social community between students and staff throughout all years, supply financial

assistance to students for academic field trips requiring individual financial input and to facilitate through a variety of events, networking with professionals from the resources industry where graduating students will potentially look to gain future employment. AUGS events include many functions throughout the year such as BBQs, quiz nights, pub crawls, sponsors nights and a formal dinner. Afterwards, and at all these events, student attendees have the opportunity to socialise and mingle with potential employers and academics in a relaxed environment drawing on their experience and knowledge. Overall the Adelaide University Geological Society adds an enjoyable social element to studies in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Sign up to The Dirt: https://tinyurl.com/ydvuxjzt

The time has come for the 2024 committee to say farewell!! 😭 Before we leave we would love to say thank you to everyone who has supported us this year! We are so grateful to have had such an incredible turnout at all of our events. Nothing would be possible without all of our members and our sponsors, Dynamics G-Ex, Beach Energy, Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists and NExUS.

Hopefully all of you have had just as much fun as we have this year, it’s been an absolute pleasure working for AUGS. Thank you for buying an insane amount of pub crawl shirts, supporting our new “Side Quest Hour” and wearing all things serpentine to our ball! 💚🐍🍻

To the committee that survived the great pubcrawl date change of 2024, we wish you all the best! Apart from that silly little mishap please share your favourite thing with us from this year, hopefully they’re good!!!
