UWA Geoscience Foundation

The UWA Geoscience Foundation has been initiated by UWA Geology Alumni Inc to enable support of geoscience at UWA by Alumni and other individuals and companies.

Donations and bequests will be tax-deductible. It will provide an opportunity for all UWA geology Alumni to give something back in recognition of the opportunities that followed graduation and resulted to a significant degree from their initial training.

Vision for Geoscience at UWA:

To achieve excellence and sustained international recognition in geoscience teaching and research, particularly in areas aligned with the strategic needs of the State, such as minerals, petroleum, groundwater, environment and climate change.

Funds will only be directed into those areas that can deliver sustainable strategic benefits. A key objective will be an increase in the output of high quality graduates and postgraduates with strong generic skills. There is also an obvious need for the Geoscience Discipline Group to develop some additional capabilities in research and post-graduate education, particularly in petroleum geology and groundwater, whilst maintaining its traditional strengths in minerals.
