The Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran or in brief GSI is a government agency responsible for conducting geological and mineral surveys throughout the country, collecting the results of activities carried out in this field, establishing coordination, preparing and publishing geological maps of Iran. It is a subdivision of the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, which was established in 1962 in cooperation with United Nations.[2]

History

Nasrollah Khadem,[3] Graduate of Mining engineering in Mines ParisTech, founded the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) in 1962 and was the head of this organization until 1974. Of course, the idea forming this organization dates back to 1959, and therefore, with the efforts of the Ministry of Industries and Mines, the law establishing of GSI was approved by National Consultative Assembly and Senate of Iran on August 20, 1959, and Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) officially started its work in 1962. Therefore, according to the twenty-seventh principle of the amendment to the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the license to establish the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) was issued based on an 8-article statute, which is summarized below:[4][5][6][7]

In 1999, the exploration tasks of the Ministry of Industries and Mines were handed over entirely to the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran. The organization is currently responsible for geological studies of the country and exploratory assessment of mineral resources except hydrocarbons (Petroleum and Natural gas).[8][2][9]

Organization chart

The Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) includes these administrative departments:[10][11][12][13][14]

Objectives of the organization

The policy of the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) according to the articles of association is to pursue the following goals:[39][40][41]

  1. National policy and planning in geology and exploration
  2. Identifying geological environments and mineral potentials of the country and presenting the results in the form of "basic and practical information" for use in infrastructure, development, economic and social projects
  3. Research in the field of recognizing seismic areas of the country along with providing executive solutions for industrial urban development areas with the aim of reducing and preventing social and economic damage
  4. Research in the field of coastal engineering knowledge and exploration of non-living natural materials in the country's aquatic environments
  5. Exploration of new mineral reserves of the country, in different phases of regional exploration, search and public exploration up to the pre-feasibility stage with the aim of providing the necessary grounds and advantages for job creation, growth and development of the country
  6. Collection, processing and updating of geosciences data and information and infrastructure development with the aim of providing the information needs of scholars and miners and mining industries
  7. Implementation of joint research projects (inside and outside the country)
  8. Assistance in applied education of higher education centers of the country

Personnels and branches

The Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) has about 1000 personnel with high scientific degrees and using laboratory equipment and computer facilities. The organization is headquartered in Tehran and has 16 general branches covering almost all regions of Iran for geological and indigenous exploration studies. The GSI also has mutual cooperation and joint research programs with other organizations in Iran and abroad.[2]

The GSI products

Among the services and products of the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI), the following can be mentioned:

The Journal

The Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) has been publishing Scientific Quarterly Journal of Geosciences since the fall of 1992 in order to transfer geological knowledge and publish new scientific findings.[57][2][58][59]

The Museum

The Museum of the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) is a specialized museum that called Geoscience Museum, established in 1959 and specifically contains samples of rocks, minerals, fossils and old mining objects obtained from different parts inside and outside the country. In this museum, more than 400 samples of rocks, 1500 samples of fossils and more than 1400 samples of minerals from Iran and other countries are kept. The museum also has 65 instances of ancient mining tools and equipment.[60][2][61][62][63] The various sections of the Museum of Earth Sciences include the section on antique mining tools and archaeological objects, rocks, precious and semi-precious minerals, fossils, vertebrate fossils, and the Geological Screening Film Hall. In the special sections, those interested can also get acquainted with the meteorites and quartz crystals grown by local experts, and the bone and fossil footprints and dinosaur eggs. Also in the fossil vertebrate section, there are significant fossils from all Cambrian geological periods up to the present time. The fossils have been collected in two groups of plants and animals from different formations of the country.[64] In 2008, the museum was completely renovated.[65][66][67]

The Library

The library of the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration of Iran (GSI) was established in 1959 with the aim of collecting, organizing and disseminating geological information. The GSI library currently has the most complete collection of specialized books and publications in geosciences with more than 10,000 titles of books and reports in Persian and Latin. The GSI library consists of the following sections:[9][2]
