Outreach Activities to Disseminate Geological Information
－Communicate Clearly, Reinforce Communicator－

Last Updated : April 9, 2021

　One of the roles of the Geological Museum is to introduce the research results of the Geological Survey of Japan, which has more than 200 scientists, to the public.

Nurturing interpreters of earth science

　The Museum also works to raise public awareness of earth science, holding in-museum fossil-replica-making activities, special exhibition and cooperating in external events all over Japan.
　Fostering more interpreters of earth science is key to further disseminating our scientific outcomes. To meet this objective, we actively promote geological events such as Geology Day and the Geological Information Exhibition, and we support science in the form of Geopark initiatives in Japan. Our goals are to have local museums and various organizations spread earth science knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner and to familiarize more people with earth science.
