This paper points out some perspectives and possibilities for research and extension on geoconservation in UFSM, focusing on two underdeveloped regions of southern Brazil: the “southern half” of the Rio Grande do Sul State and the “great Mercosul border”, comprising northern Rio Grande do Sul and the western portions of the Santa Catarina and Paraná states. The focused regions possess relevant features of geodiversity and geoheritage, as well as social, economic, and environmental problems that threaten this abiotic part of nature. Research objects in several knowledge areas are suggested here, as well as the necessary integration with universities recently established in those areas (UFFS and Unipampa). Some possibilities for increasing the social impact of the academy, through university extension projects and programs, are also indicated.
