Society of Exploration Geophysicists - Western Student Chapter

All SEG student chapter members are invited to join the next event in the SEG CUSP Webinar Series, which will take place on Thursday, 11 June 2020, at 1 PM EST. The title of this interactive webinar is “The Future of Exploration Geophysics”.

"In the face of low oil prices and the COVD-19 pandemic, the profession of geophysics faces serious changes. Geophysicists have to deal with new challenges and opportunities. What will the future of geophysics look like? Where and how will geophysicists work? What skills do students and emerging professionals need for a successful career? To answer these questions, the SEG Committee on University and Student Programs gathers a group of distinguished speakers who share their experience and opinions from the perspectives of industry experts, university professors, emerging professionals, and non-profit society representatives.
