Leaders Investing in the Future of Geophysics
The SEG Foundation Trustee Associates represent the highest level of philanthropic leadership within the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG). Trustee Associates are Society members who have contributed US$10,000 or more cumulatively to the Annual Fund or US$25,000 or more to SEG programs within five years, and who sustain their commitment annually.
This distinguished group of donors shares a common vision: to advance the science of geophysics, empower future generations, and ensure that SEG continues to thrive as a global force for innovation, education, and professional excellence. Becoming a Trustee Associate is not only a statement of generosity—it’s a commitment to shaping the future of the profession and strengthening the global geoscience community.
