Biographical/Historical Information

The Virginia Board for Geology was established in 1981 to implement a certification system for professional geologists for the preservation of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Virginia. To provide the public a substantial basis for relying on the professional services of a geologist, the Board for Geology administers a certification system that includes qualifications of applicants for certification and regulations to prevent deceptive or misleading practices. The Dept. for Professional and Occupational Regulation is the umbrella agency for the board and provides administrative support. In 2012, the Board was merged with the Board for Professional Soil Scientists and Wetland Professionals to create the Board for Professional Soil Scientists, Wetland Professionals, and Geologists.
