SEG Women's Network

The SEG Women's Network is a community hosted by the SEG Women's Network Committee. Created in 2011, the Women's Network raises awareness of and finds solutions for the challenges women encounter in applied geophysics.

Pioneer Women

Overview

Our objectives are:

Grow a community for mutual support among female SEG members,
Encourage more participation and leadership by women in applied geophysics worldwide,
Enhance recruiting and retention of women in the profession and mentoring of students and early career professionals, and
Elevate awareness of the value of a diverse workforce in the profession.

Mentoring

As part of the 2017 SEG WNC goals, which were in part driven by member feedback from the SEG Annual Meeting WNC activities, the SEG Women's Network has begun development of a mentoring portal for female SEG members.
