Government Science Agencies

The Geological Survey of Finland, abbreviated GTK, is the geological survey of Finland. It was founded in 1885 when Emperor Alexander III decreed that a geological survey of Finland be established. GTK is a research institution governed by the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy, operating in Finland and globally. It publishes the Geological Survey of Finland Bulletin, which has appeared since 1895, together with special papers and reports of investigation. The geologist Jakob Johannes Sederholm directed the survey from 1893 to 1933, and the agency now has six offices around the country.
