SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC)

SEG offers several forms of professional development.  Primary among these, presented in partnership with the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), is the SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC).  The DISC is a one-day course by a prominent geophysicist on a current topic of interest to a broad audience of geoscientists.  The DISC visits over 25 sites around the world each year. 

Details of the current and past DISC presentations, including schedules, can be found on the DISC page.

Distinguished Lecturer

SEG offers a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) program.  The Spring DL visits a minimum of 15 locations each year to present a lecture suitable for a lunch or dinner meeting of a local section or university group.  Each year the DL is recorded and put on the SEG website for free viewing by members and the public.

The Fall DL is sponsored jointly with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG).  SEG and AAPG alternate years administering the program.

Information on the DL program, including the current schedule and links to recorded sessions, can be found on the Distinguished Lecturer page.

Honorary Lecturer

SEG also offers the Honorary Lecturer (HL) program.  The Honorary Lecturer program is a companion program to the DL with a focus to transfer knowledge within a region. The regional focus strengthens services SEG provides to an expanding global membership. Lectures may be given in English or a language appropriate to the region.

Information on the HL program, including current schedules, can be found on the Honorary Lecturer page.

Continuing Education

The backbone of the SEG Professional Development program is Continuing Education (CE).  These short courses, taught by industry experts, cover topics from the fundamental to the leading edge of geophysics.  Current courses are listed in the following pages with a short description for each.  Courses are added as the need arises; a complete, up-to-date list can be found on the Continuing Education page.  Generally 1 or 2 days long, most courses can be expanded up to 5 days if desired.  All courses have been reviewed by the SEG Continuing Education Committee to ensure that the quality expected of SEG is achieved.

CE courses are held in one of 3 ways: public courses, section-sponsored courses, and contract or in-house courses.  Public courses are sponsored directly by SEG, section-sponsored courses are sponsored by SEG sections or affiliated societies, and contract courses are sponsored by individual companies or organizations.
