Seismic Soundoff

This episode explores the inspiration for Geoscientists Without Borders® (GWB®) and the leaders that helped shape the program. GWB® uses the specialized knowledge and technical skills of geoscientists to mitigate natural hazards by connecting universities and industries with communities in need. These global projects involve archaeology; earthquake, landslide, volcano and tsunami preparedness; pollution mitigation; habitat management; and water management. Help us spread the word. Share this episode with your friends and colleagues. Communicate with your peers the work SEG and dedicated geoscientists in the GWB® program are doing. The more that people learn about GWB®, the better our chances of reaching sustained funding, recruiting volunteers, and continuing projects that impact communities. For additional information, including how to donate to GWB®, visit https://seg.org/gwb. Please subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice.

Sponsor Schlumberger strives to be a unifying force for social and environmental stewardship, and engages in philanthropic activities that reflect the company’s values. As the founding sponsor of Geoscientists Without Borders®, Schlumberger believes in the science of geophysics to affect positive changes in communities facing environmental hardship and natural hazards.
