Fieldwork That Changes Lives: Inside the Matagorda Bay Field Trip

“Geoscientists without Borders shows how geophysics isn’t just for oil and gas; it’s for helping people and communities.” In this episode, Shuhab Khan and David Bartel share how the SEG Foundation and Geoscientists without Borders are helping build resilient coastal communities through the Matagorda Bay Field Trip at IMAGE ‘25. Shuhab explains how students and professionals will get hands-on experience using cutting-edge tools to monitor coastal erosion and habitat stability while learning to apply geophysics for societal impact. David highlights how the SEG Foundation’s support makes these initiatives possible, encouraging listeners to support and join this important mission. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Learn how drone surveys, satellite data, and ground-penetrating radar are used to monitor erosion and protect vulnerable coastal areas. > Understand why coastal resilience is a humanitarian need and how geophysics can directly support community safety and environmental stability. > Discover how Geoscientists without Borders and the SEG Foundation enable field opportunities that connect science with real-world solutions for energy, water, and climate challenges.
