This national tour is sponsored by the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) Foundation and presented by a distinguished member of the society. The goal of the tour is to promote the science and application of geophysics and to highlight a topic of current interest.
Although the topic is yet to be finalized, the tentative plan is to visit Central and Eastern Canada in October and November 2022, and Western and Northern Canada in January and February 2023.
Dr. Rachel Newrick, P.Geoph., P.Geol., is an exploration geophysicist working and teaching internationally with a focus on seismic interpretation. She completed undergraduate degrees at VUW in New Zealand and a PhD in Exploration Seismology at the University of Calgary, Canada.
