FAR WEST GEOSCIENCE FOUNDATION

Devoted to scientific research and public education in the geosciences

Statement of Purpose

The FarWest Geoscience Foundation is a California-based non-profit organization devoted to scientific research and public education in the geosciences (geology, paleontology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomorphology, etc.) within the western cordillera region of the Americas.

Paleontology

The FWGF has focused on paleontological resource assessment within the western U.S. region where the resource faces acute threats due to rapid population growth and accelerated urbanization.

Federal, state, county, and city governments are provided with sufficient technical information to insure that paleontological resources are included in land planning and resource management policies.

Academic and educational institutions are kept informed of a variety of research and educational projects and programs through informal meetings, newsletters, and presentations at professsional and scientific society conferences.
