Welcome to the Research Committee Community!

The SEG Research Committee serves to improve communication among earth scientists interested in applied research, to advise the SEG Executive Committee on research matters, to identify research topics worthy of a focused workshop and to organize these workshops. The Committee meets twice a year. Much of the business of the Committee is conducted by email. Membership is open to all researchers. 

Research workshops are organized in conjunction with the SEG Annual Meeting and Exhibition and as longer stand-alone events. One or more Summer Research Workshops are held annually on topics of great current interest that would benefit from focused off-site discussion amongst leading practitioners and researchers. Multi-disciplinary research is fostered through joint workshops with other organizations such as EAGE, SPE and AAPG. Students conducting research on the topic of the workshop are encouraged to participate.
