The Geological Remote Sensing Group (GRSG) is a special interest group of the Geological Society of London (GeolSoc) and the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc). The GRSG is an association of enthusiasts keen on the geological aspects of remote sensing. The current membership includes geologists and remote sensing experts employed within industry, academia and government agencies, as well as graduate students. Although the parent bodies are both based in the UK the GRSG is an international organization with members around the globe. Each year the GRSG holds its own annual conference devoted to geological remote sensing and sponsors a number of other geological events and initiatives which includes those of the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark and we are pleased to be involved with this initiative and the events that the Geopark holds in 2016.
