During the first century of the Polish Geological Society (PGS), many prominent hydrogeologists have worked, and are still working, who have made a huge contribution to the development of hydrogeology in Poland. The results of their research and scientific activity at universities and various scientific institutes gave the basis for the origin and development of modern hydrogeology. It is impossible to list all hydrogeologists who deservedly contributed to PGS, so only the founding members of the Hydrogeological Section of the PGS and Honorary Members of the PGS are briefly presented. If any meritorious figure for hydrogeology during the first century of the PGS is omitted in such an approach, it is not the author's intention.

In the 100-year history of the Polish Geological Society (PGS), international activity has been very important element of its activity. Shortly after the formation of PGS in 1921, CBGA (1922) and INQUA (1928) were formed as a result of the activities of PGS members. In the post-WWII period, international cooperation was undertaken by both the Main Board of PGS, as well as regional branches and specialist sections. During this period, foreign activity was limited mainly to the countries of the Eastern Block (Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia) and Austria. Nevertheless, the Ore Deposit Genesis Section and Palaeontological Section joined international organizations (IAGOD and IPA). The revival of international contacts took place in the 1990s. Cooperation was established with societies from the Baltic Countries, Albania and Bulgaria. The Polish Geological Society has become a member of AEGS and EFG and is affiliated with the AAPG. In the first two decades of the 21st century, PGS organized several international conferences: 12th MAEGS (2001), Pan-European Correlation of the epicontinental Triassic 4th Meeting (2007), GEO-Pomerania (2007), ICHNIA (2008), SEDIMENT (2009), 31st IAS Meeting of Sedimentology (2015) and 16th CETEG Meeting (2018). An important element of international cooperation has always been the participation of geologists from neighbouring countriesin the annual scientific meetings of PTGeol and symposia of specialist sections taking place in border areas. In this respect, the best cooperation in several decades was with colleagues from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and after 2000 also from Ukraine. PGS grants the status of an honorary member of the Society to distinguished persons from abroad. Even before World War II, Maurice Lugeon became the first honorary member of PGS in history. In 100-year history ofPGS, 47persons from Poland and abroad received it, also members of PGS received status of an honorary member from other Geological Societies.

The article presents a brief history of the Palaeontological Section of the Polish Geological Society, a member of the International Palaeontological Association since 1975. The activities of the Palaeontological Section have been focused on organization of scientific conferences. During almost five decades of its existence, the Section organised 24 conferences, two field seminars and two scientific sessions, covering very broad and diverse research subjects. The participants of these meetings were all those who are interested in palaeontology and geology, not only members of the Section. In 1993 the Section was co-organiser of the International Conference Global boundary events. Initiated by the Section, the Committee for Documentary Affairs of Geological-Palaeontological Collections was established in 1976. In 1984, the Committee published a preliminary report on zoological and palaeontological collections housed at 21 public institutions in Poland.

Scientific sessions are an important element of activity of the Polish Geological Society. The crisis in the organization of scientific sessions was caused by the SARS-C0V-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, during which most of the lectures were canceled. The response to the crisis of social contacts and the suspension of sessions during the pandemic were national scientific sessions on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Polish Geological Society. The on-line form was introduced as a new and universal way of organizing scientific sessions of the PGS. The initiative met with great interest of geologists in Poland and was very positively assessed by the respondents. Due to the success of national scientific sessions, they were permanently included in the calendar of scientific events in Poland.

As early as at the beginning of the 20th century, outstanding Polish geologists associated with the Academy of Arts and Sciences, operating in the Austrian Partition, developed concepts for the development of geology in independent Poland. As soon as independence became a fact, the Polish Geological Institute was established, and a little later - the Polish Geological Society. The specific goals of these institutions were different, but the overriding goal - the development of Polish geology and the geological community - was common. PGI and PGS interacted very closely with each other. PGI employees for many years played an important role in the Society's structure, including the function of the President. They initiated the establishment of regional branches, and were always scientifically active, presenting a significant percentage of scientific lectures prepared a spart of PGS activities. They were the organizers or co-organizers o fa significant part of the PGS Congresses, and in most cases of the post-war history, PGI was the publisher of the Congress Guides. The symbiosis of these two important institutions served both themselves and Polish geology as a whole.

The Structural Geology and Geohazards Research Group (SRGR) of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 2017 on the initiative of employees of the Polish Geological Institute - National Research Institute, the University of Wrocław, and the Jagiellonian University in order to integrate structural geologists, exchange views and information, and undertake various forms of cooperation. Geologists from over a dozen Polish scientific and commercial institutions, as well as foreign ones, participate in the works of the section. The activity of the section focuses on improving the research skills of its members and supporting them in achieving the best possible research results. An important element of the section's work is the promotion of issues related to structural research and the dissemination of research results through organizations, and participation in national and international conferences. During the first five years of its activity, the section organized, among others, the 16th CETEG Meeting in 2018 in Rytro (southern Poland), and its members delivered several lectures at conferences organized by PGS and during the “Polish National Scientific Meetings of the Polish Geological Society”, which was organized on the 100th anniversary of the organization's existence.

The journal Rocznik Polskiego Towarzystwa Geologicznego was launched in 1922 by the Polish Geological Society established soon after Poland's regaining of independence in 1918. The successive volumes appeared annually. After the break caused by World War 2 the journal was promptly reactivated by those members of the Society who survived the war. The journal gradually turned to publishing in English only, and changed its title to Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae. Many published papers gained the journal wide international audience. Now, Annales... with its international editorial board, robust record of citations, regular appearance, good physical quality and unlimited online availability of all published papers is a valuable source of interesting papers for readers and a promising publication venue for the authors of original contributions to geological science.

The article presents a brief history of the Sozological Section of the Polish Geological Society and its genesis in the context of the environmental protection movement and the idea of sustainable development, as well as political changes in Poland. The section adopted and popularized the name sozology for the emerging interdisciplinary science of rational and economical use of environmental resources, named by this creator, outstanding geologist and organizer of science, Walery Goetel. In the years 1963-1972, he chaired the pioneering Seminar on the Conservation of Nature Resources and Securing the Durability of Use of Raw Materials, which made the realities of resource and land-use management in the People's Republic of Poland aware. At the same time, he popularized good practices of resource conservation and reclamation. Goetel's initiatives preceded high-profile reports by the United Nations and the WECD: U Thant's (1969) “Problems of the Human Environment”, and Brundtland's (1987)“Our common future”. The Sozological Section of the PGS operated briefly but dynamically in the years 1992-2005. Its activity has been focused on the organization of scientific conferences, demonstration of environmental problems and practical solutions in the field and popularization. The branches of PGS in Kraków, Poznań and Kielce were most involved in the organization of the conferences, along with local leaders A. Paulo, J. Skoczylas and Z. Rubinowski. The subject of the conferences evolved towards the management of industrial degraded areas and for some time their organization benefited from the support of the mineral industries. The final part of the article presents the current state of sozology in Poland and the diagnosis of future needs.

The Upper Silesian Branch of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 1962 as one of the first regional branches of the PGS. Due to the specificity of the region, geologists working in Upper Silesia were most often concerned with the exploration and exploitation of hard coal in the USCB, but also undertook research on the geology of the USCB margin, polymetallic deposits, hydrocarbons, hydrogeology, and environmental protection in areas of mining activities. These problems were expressed in the topics of PGS annual meetings, field sessions and seminars. During the 60 years of activity, five PGS meetings were organized, the topics of which concerned the latest achievements in geology in the region. Already in the first years of operation of the Upper Silesian Branch of PGS, it was noticed that a special feature of this branch is the considerable dispersion of geologists working in various cities of the voivodeship. However, despite the difficulties resulting from this fact, the Upper Silesian Branch is active and it has been consolidating the scattered community of geologists in the region of Upper Silesia since its establishment.

The Gdańsk Branch of the Polish Geological Society was established in 1962. Earlier, geologists from Gdańsk were active within the framework of the Kraków Branch. The number of members of the branch varied over time -from about 30 to over 100 people. The Gdańsk Branch plays an important role in integrating the geological community of the Tri-City. Over 180 lectures were delivered at regular meetings of the branch members. The Gdańsk Branch was also the organizer of several annual meetings of the Society - in 1958,1990 and2002 in Gdańsk, and in 1972 in Cetniewo. The first annual meeting at the seaside took place in 1935 in Gdynia, before the creation of the Gdańsk Branch. The research results presented at the annual meetings showed a continuous progress in geological exploration of the Pomerania region and the Baltic Sea bottom.

The Kraków Branch of the Polish Geological Society (PGS) was established in 1922 and is the oldest and largest regional branch of the PGS. Initially, it was managed directly by the PGS Main Board, and from 1963, it has its own board. From the beginning, it has been one of the most active centres of the PGS and supported the work of the PGS management board in organizational activities in the country and in foreign cooperation. During World War II, its members gave secret lectures, and in the post-war period, they took part in reactivating the PGS activities and establishing both other branches and most of the specialist sections of PGS. The branch organized about 30% of all annual PGS Scientific Meetings and several dozen other scientific symposia and popular scientific sessions. It was the centre to initiate the organization of Polish Geological Congresses in the 21st century. The Kraków Branch includes representatives of all scientific institutes from Kraków and beyond, dealing with Earth sciences.

Władysław Szajnocha was born on June 28, 1857 in Lwów. After graduating University and Technical University of Vienna he was an employee at the National Geological Institute in Vienna. During his stay in Vienna he was investigating Jurassic brachiopods from the Eastern Carpathians, Cretaceous ammonites from the vicinity of Wieliczka as well as Cretaceous ammonite fauna of West Africa, fossil fishes from Monte Bolca in Italy and Carboniferous and Triassic flora of Argentina. He moved to Kraków in 1885, where he was a member of the Orographic - Geological Section of the Academy of Sciences. A year later he became the chair of the Department of Geology at the Jagiellonian University, called the “Cabinet of Geology”. In the years 1911 and 1916–1917, Szajnocha held the position of rector of the Jagiellonian University. He was also the first president of the Polish Geological Society, which was initiated in March 1920. He published two important works concerning researchers of the Carpathian Flysch: “Geological Studies of the Carpathian Mountains in Western Galicia”(1884) and “Mineral Resources of Galicia” (1891). He was also the author of 15 map sheets at the scale 1 : 75 000, included in the “Geological Atlas of Galicia”. A separate field of his geological researchers was related to the issues of oil exploration. Therefore, he took part in a series of expeditions to Turkestan, Austria, Norway and Sweden. Szajnocha is also the author of the article titled “On the National Geological Institution” (1907), published when country was not independent. Therefore, he can be considered as a pioneer of the creation National Geological Survey in Poland. Realization of his idea occurred 12 years later, after resurrection of Polish State and creation of the Polish Geological Institute. Szajnocha died on August Łyczaków Cemetery in Lwów.

The Commission on the History of Geological Sciences of is the youngest of the Polish Geological Society’s commissions. It was founded on January 27, 2015, at a meeting held in the PGI-NRI. The initiative came from Polish members of the International Commission on the History of Geological Sciences of the International Union of Geological Sciences (INHIGEO) in order to provide a forum for knowledge-sharing and networking among geoscientists and promote ongoing research into the history of the earth sciences. Activities of the Commission are to be focused on publication of individual and collective works on the pertinent historical activities and achievements of Polish geologists both in the country and abroad, with a special attention paid to world-wide attainments of our great predecessors and their output – vintage map prints and antique maps and old prints, not say about conservation of geological and mining heritage. It may be stated that this initiative got off the blocks quickly, gaining a strong vote of support from the geological community. This was best shown by 50 membership applications for the Commission, submitted by geoscientists from main geological and mining academic and R&D centers and extractive industry. The Commission currently plans to hold three to four general meetings of scientific session type with associated field activities per year. Second scientific session took place on April 20, 2015 and was devoted to tradition and role of the south-eastern Poland as the cradle of the world oil industry.
