Chief Editor’s Message

2023-09-14T14:05:35-06:00

NILANJAN GANGULY Hello everybody, Hope you all had a terrific summer. Welcome to the 2023-24 session of the RECORDER. We are happy to have a series of exciting articles lined up for the next few months. In the recent past, we have seen how our geoscience skills and expertise, as well as our aptitude for innovation, are being transferred to the emerging field of carbon capture and storage (CCS). This trend is reflected in the submission of articles to the RECORDER – with multiple articles related to CCS to be published in the next few months. Our first article is authored [...]

Rebuilding a Sense of Community

2023-07-05T12:06:15-06:00

DOUG UFFEN A CSEG PAST PRESIDENT DOUG@REFLECTIONPEAK.COM The Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) has undergone several transformative changes in recent years due to the downturn in the oil and gas industry. Financially prudent decision making in prior years has permitted the society to weather the worst imaginable economic period for oil and gas with a cash reserve still somewhat intact and a financially strong Foundation. Not that the downturn hasn’t taken its toll on the CSEG. Cash reserves are down, membership is about 35% of what it was in the mid-2010s. The CSEG downtown office has been vacated, partially [...]

Chief Editor’s Farewell Column

2023-06-01T13:13:10-06:00

BRIAN SCHULTE CHIEF EDITOR, CSEG RECORDER, SCHIEFER RESERVOIR, BSCHULTE@SCHIEFER-RESERVOIR.COM In July 2017, Nicole Willson, former Chief Editor of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) RECORDER, approached me about myself replacing her as the Chief Editor of the CSEG RECORDER. I committed to Nicole to do it for just two years, but I have done it for almost six years now. It has been challenging at times, especially during Covid and the lockdowns, but it was always important to me that the committee collaborated and worked together. Serving as the Chief Editor has been a privilege, rewarding and a career [...]

KRISTY MANCHUL COLUMN CONTRIBUTOR P: 403-585-5204 | kristy@headwatersseismic.com Happy Spring! Calling all volunteers! I have been sitting on the CSEG Foundation Board for a number of years as the Communications Director, and have always been impressed with the dedication and professionalism of our volunteer base. Without all of you, we couldn’t facilitate our programs. Our volunteers solicit for funds and grant scholarships, work with university students and the public, advocate on behalf of the geosciences to government, and create opportunities to raise funds for the Foundation through our society’s social committees. We do need help though. Our biggest portfolio is [...]

Associate Editor’s Column – Farewell, and see you soon

DAVID GRAY | ASSOCIATE EDITOR, CSEG RECORDER, FDAVID.GRAY@GMAIL.COM | After two fun years working with a great group of people, I’m leaving my role as Associate Editor of the CSEG Recorder. This will not be the last you hear from me though, as after working here, I am inspired to publish even more in this great magazine that we are very lucky to have. A couple of years ago, after leaving Ikon thanks to Covid and recovering from working for 35 years, I knew that I needed to continue to be involved in geophysics. Working for the Recorder scratched that [...]
