Monthly Microseismic Study Group

The Microseismic Study Group is a forum to present and discuss issues related to acquisition, processing and interpretation of microseismic data.  It is designed for geoscientists interested in discussing case studies and furthering their understanding of all things microseismic.  The meeting is typical a 20 minute presentation followed by 20-30 minutes of discussion.  The upcoming location, topic and speaker is announced approximately 2-3 weeks before the event date.  The study group is typically held on the first or second Tuesday following the monthly luncheon – please keep posted as these dates and locations do change each month. Registration is not required, just show up!  You are welcome to bring a bag lunch as lunch is not provided.  To submit a possible study group topic/talk, email [email protected].

 

The Student Challenge Bowl

Eight teams of two students (graduate and undergraduate) from Universities or Colleges are invited to compete in a fast-paced multiple choice Q&A about geophysics and geology to win a trip to The International Student Challenge Bowl Competition at the SEG International Exposition.  The Student Challenge Bowl takes place on the eve of the 3D Symposium in Downtown Denver.  Registration and Sponsorship is available online from approximately January to the event date in March.

 

3D Seismic Symposium

This full day symposium features multiple presentations, exhibitor booths and networking for geoscientists. Theme, topics and speakers are typically announced in December and registration is open in January.  Sponsorship and Exhibitor Booths are available.
