Everything about The Geographical Society Of Ireland totally explained
The
Geographical Society of Ireland GSI (disambiguation) Irish:
Cumman Tíreolaíochta na héireann was founded in 1934 to promote geographical studies in Ireland and welcomes as members all persons interested in the subject. The Society hosts seminars, workshops, field trips and other events during the year, principally in Dublin, but also in other centres such as Limerick, Galway, Belfast and Cork. The Society has, in the recent past, also organised conferences on issues of concern to geographers and the general public, with the Proceedings of these Conferences published as Special Publications. These are open to all members.
The Geographical Society of Ireland is based all over the island, in which members of the committee are based in most of the geography departments of Irish universities. Most notable members of the society have included Dr. Joseph E. Brady, Prof. Anngret Simms, Dr. Andrew Maclaren, and the current GSI president Dr. John Sweeney who is a member of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Most geography academics across the republic and
Northern Ireland are members of the GSI, and many contribute continually to the internationally renowned peer reviewed journal
Irish Geography.
