We are pleased to announce that we have established a national section in Colombia on 8 November 2024. IAPG-Colombia is the 37th national section of the International Association for Promoting Geoethics (IAPG). The section will be coordinated by Clemencia Gomez.


Clemencia Gomez is a geologist, holding a Ph.D. in Paleontology with a specialization in Quaternary palynology, and further qualifications in Business Administration and Oil Mining Law. She made history as the first female president of the Colombian Society of Geology, serving from 2017 to 2019, and later as President of the Colombian Association of Geology from 2021 to 2022. Throughout her career, she has held significant roles in both public and private companies, notably as the coordinator of the Geology Group at the National Hydrocarbons Agency. With over 25 years of experience as a university professor at various educational institutions, she currently serves as a full-time associate professor at the National University of Colombia. Her dedication to education and geoscience was recognized in 2021 when she received the Inspirational Geoscience Educator Award from the American Association of Petroleum Geologist (AAPG) Foundation.

In 2022, she was honored with the Humberto Gallego Gamboa Order as an illustrious graduate of the Universidad de Caldas. As a testament to her commitment to public service, she was awarded the prestigious Public Service Award by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) in 2024. Her outstanding contributions to the field of geology and education continue to inspire future generations and drive positive change in the industry.
