What is Geologists Day?
Geologists Day, observed on the first Sunday in April, is the official professional holiday of geologists, geophysicists and geochemists in Russia and across the post-Soviet space, established in 1966. The day honours the scientists who read the Earth — from the chemistry of its crust to the physics of its core — and whose work underpins everything from mineral exploration and earthquake preparedness to climate modelling and the search for groundwater. The date is the first Sunday in April, which means it shifts each year but always falls in the same spring window when the snow thaws and the rocks start showing again in the Northern Hemisphere.
