Unconventional and New Energy SIG: Overcoming the limits of manual fault interpretation in complex structural
settings: A Permian Basin Case Study
Day: Thu-05-Nov-2026 this is a hybrid event
Location: TGS 10451 Clay Rd. Houston, TX 77041
Summary: As production in the Permian Basin intensifies, operators face increasingly complex subsurface targets and a growing need to identify faults that may impact drilling and reservoir characterization. This study evaluated three 100 GB 3D seismic volumes using pre-trained 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to compare fault detection performance across...

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 from stations...

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...

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
