I took the mission and vision statements from geological societies and surveys at International, European and National levels then semantically clustered in a word cloud. The colours are words grouped by similarity (share similar words). A few themes emerge (my interpretation):
1. Red – Using knowledge to address humanities challenges for a sustainable planet
2. Orange – Connect community, provide leadership
3. Blue – Using data, provide evidence based research in the profession
4. Green – Monitor, predict provide actionable information for decisions
5. Purple – Promotion of discipline
6. Pink – Serving scientific discovery
7. Grey – Fostering understanding, trust
