About ES2k

Earth Science 2000 was set up in September 2000 as a voluntary organisation aimed at promoting the Earth Sciences in the north of Ireland and as a coordinating body to focus the activity of a diverse range of organisations and interest groups. At our AGM on 24 September 2003, ES2k members from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland endorsed a decision to expand the group's remit to cover the whole island of Ireland.

Through a magazine and this website, ES2k aims to:

- promote public awareness of Earth Science issues affecting the quality of life, quality of the environment and the sustainable and responsible development of the geological resources in Ireland;

- promote education and life-long learning in the Earth Sciences;

- act as a coordinating body for and a significant voice of the Earth Sciences in Ireland.
