Servicio Geológico Minero is an Argentine government institution aimed at producing geological, mining and enronmental information to achieve sustained development and mitigate geological hazards. [1]
The institution has its origin at the fusion of Dirección General de Minas y Geología and Comisión de Estudios de Napas de Agua y Yacimientos Carboníferos in 1904.

With Hermitte in charge the institution attracted a number European geologist to work for the institution including Richard Stappenbeck, John Keidel and Walther Penck. [3]
