President's Message!

President Dan Sidwell
"OUGS is a student-run society within the Earth Sciences department. We put on a range of events throughout the year. These include field trips, academic talks/conferences and careers events. However, what we are perhaps most famous for is our social events aimed at bolstering intra-departmental networks and friendships. These include geology cocktails, originally named ‘Rocktails’, as well as termly celebratory dinners, barbecues, intra-departmental pub quizzes and the yearly grudge match against our Cambridge counterparts, or ‘GeoVarsity’. The Department is an incredibly close-knit community, and our society helps to maintain this and acts as a conduit for getting to know both your year and years above. We hope you find this website useful. It contains a number of resources, including a list of forthcoming OUGS events, summaries of former undergrad mapping locations, and the latest news from Oxford and the wider scientific world. I hope you enjoy being a member of OUGS."
