The National Institute of Geological Sciences (NIGS) is a multidisciplinary forum for the study of processes that shape the Earth.  It is the national center of excellence for the advancement, dissemination and application of geology in the Philippines.

Pursuant to our mandate, the primary objectives of the institute are achieved through teaching, research and extension services. We offer undergraduate education in geology and courses at the graduate level in the fields of Geochemistry, Petrology, Solid-Earth Geophysics, Volcanology, Volcano-Tectonics, Marine Geology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology and Paleontology. Fields of geosciences perceived critical to national development such as Engineering Geology, Environmental Geology, Energy Resources, Neotectonics and Quaternary Geology are key areas of basic and applied research.  A variety of services related to understanding geological processes are also offered by our faculty and researchers.

We welcome you to explore our site to learn more about us. This is where geological adventures in the Philippines begin!
