The Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics became the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) in 1992. AGSO provided much of the geoscience information that underpinned exploration and development work for petroleum and minerals in Australia. The change of name to AGSO - Geoscience Australia in August 2001, and to Geoscience Australia in November 2001, is recognition that the agency's work is vital in a wide range of contexts. 1, record 1, English, - Geoscience%20Australia
