About us
EarthTrek is a program developed and managed by the Geological Society of America's (GSA) Education & Outreach group in partnership with organizations around the globe.
GSA is a global professional not-for-profit society with a growing membership of more than 22,000 individuals in over 97 countries. Its headquarters is based in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
The management plan of EarthTrek is to establish itself in the community then become a separate not-for-profit entity, utilising the skills and functions of the Geological Society of America and other partner organiztions to operate.
EarthTrek's development is being coordinated by Gary Lewis, Director of Education & Outreach at GSA. Gary is a native of Australia and has worked in schools, government research institutions as well as at GSA. His passion, an enthusiasm for educating the public about the importance of science through participation, is the driving force for EarthTrek.
EarthTrek is a project developed to be a legacy of the IUGS International Year of Planet Earth celebrations.
