GSH UPCOMING EVENTS!

NOVEMBER

Data Proc and Acq SIG: Seismic Signals of the 19 November 2024 SpaceX Starship Flight 6 Test in Boca Chica Texas

Day: Tue-10-Nov-2026 this is a virtual event

Summary: Commercial space launches generate powerful acoustic and seismic signals that offer new opportunities for studying air-ground coupling, source processes, and near-surface Earth structure. In this seminar, we present observations from a 3-component seismic node array deployed near Boca Chica, Texas, during the SpaceX Starship Flight 6 test on 19 November 2024. The launch produced a remarkably complex wavefield recorded for more than 600 seconds. Analysis of high-quality recordings...

Living Legends Doodlebugger Social Gathering

Day: Wed-11-Nov-2026 this is an in person event

Location: GSH Geoscience Center 1790 W. Sam Houston Parkway N. Houston, TX  77043

Summary: This November 11th, veterans are especially welcome! Spend a morning surrounded by the legends, innovations, and stories that shaped the geophysical industry at the GSH Museum and Library. Explore a remarkable collection of historic instruments, books, seismic recording systems...

Rock Physics SIG: Well… What Well? An interpreter’s take on attributes for exploration, an AVO look-alike (DQ), and a tool for the QI-curious

Day: Wed-11-Nov-2026 this is a hybrid event

Location: GSH Geoscience Center 1790 W. Sam Houston Parkway N. Houston, TX  77043

Summary: This talk approaches subsurface exploration from an interpreter's perspective, in settings where well data isn't available to lean on. Collaboration between QI and interpretation is often talked about in terms of the petrophysical analysis a QI colleague can provide. Still, there's real value in the interpreter's perspective too...

GeoConnectLive: Managing Your Life as a Modern Professional

Day: Wed-18-Nov-2026 this is a virtual event

Summary: The life of the modern professional is challenging because of its high pace and strong demands. Work-life balance is a big theme, especially when we are responsible for others. It is easy to have a sense of not producing enough, of not being enough, despite the many hours that we put in. This is compounded by the fact that on the job we may need skills such as...

Potential Fields SIG: The Tools of the Trade: Looking Back at Gravity & Magnetics, 1978-1988 

Day: Thu-19-Nov-2026 this is an in person event

Location: Los Tios 9527 Westheimer Rd Houston, TX 77063

Summary: In 1978, entering the potential fields workforce meant jumping into a booming exploration market using a box of 48 Prismacolor pencils, a ten-spaced divider, Job Control Language, and a Tektronix 4014 terminal connected to an IBM mainframe computer via a dedicated line – all while wearing pantyhose in a smoke-filled office out of “Mad Men." This talk looks back at the pivotal decade when gravity and magnetics interpretation...

DECEMBER

Data Proc and Acq SIG: Structure-Aware Deblending of Seismic Data in SeisSpace

Day: Tue-08-Dec-2026 this is a virtual event

Summary: Simultaneous-source acquisition can improve seismic survey efficiency but introduces blending interference that must be removed while preserving the underlying signal. This work evaluates a fast, structure-aware deblending workflow in SeisSpace using dip-steered median filtering on 2D seismic dataset. The results demonstrate effective crosstalk attenuation with....

OTHER SOCIETIES EVENTS

The First U.S. Radiometric Symposium in Four Decades: Revitalizing Radiometric Geophysics for U.S. Mineral Mapping

Day: Fri-13-Nov-2026

Location: University of Georgia Campus

Summary: The Radiometric Geophysics Symposium, jointly organized by the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) and the University of Georgia (UGA), will bring together experts from academia, government, and industry to revitalize the use of radiometric geophysics for mineral mapping and exploration in the United States.​..

WHAT'S NEW AT GSH

GSH Endowment Fund

Maximize your impact this season by supporting the GSH Endowment with year-end funds or capital gains from October portfolio rebalancing. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Geophysical Society of Houston offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while potentially qualifying for a charitable tax deduction this calendar year and honoring distinguished members Lee Lawyer, Bill Gafford, and Lisa Buckner. We are rapidly gaining momentum, with $9,500 raised to date and just $5,500 more needed to unlock the full $15,000 matching commitment from our benefactors. Every dollar you contribute will be matched dollar-for-dollar, helping turn our shared goal into a $30,000 investment in local STEM outreach, student scholarships, and our geoscience education center.

Progress to Matching Goal

Total Match Available: $15,000

Raised to Date: $9,500 !

Remaining to Unlock Match: $5,500 

The GSH actively supports a variety of local technical events, many of which feature presentations that are recorded and archived with the authors’ permission. As a benefit of membership, current GSH members can access these recordings through the GSH Technical Event Video Archive, providing members an opportunity to revisit informative talks and continue learning beyond the events themselves.
