History of Geological Studies of Hong Kong

Since the establishment of Hong Kong as a British Colony on 29th August, 1842, numerous individuals have contributed to the geological surveying of Hong Kong. The first territory-wide geological surveys and accounts began in the early 20th century, leading to the establishment of the Hong Kong Geological Survey in 1982. A range of geological maps is now available for Hong Kong, which provide useful information for urban planning, locating resources, and identifying geohazards.
