Women's Network

The Society of Exploration Geophysics (SEG) Women’s Network is a community hosted by the SEG Women’s Network Committee (WNC). Created in 2011, the Women’s Network raises awareness of—and finds solutions for—the challenges women encounter in applied geophysics.

Mentoring

As part of the 2017 WNC goals, which resulted in part from member feedback at the SEG Annual Meeting, the Women’s Network developed a mentoring portal. That mentoring portal is Mentoring365, and is available to all current SEG members. You can apply to serve as a mentor or be mentored at www.mentoring365.org.
