By Tom Smith, Geophysical Insights. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Foundation has existed for years to fund the SEG’s efforts in education and outreach. Most recently it is funding one of the society’s most exciting efforts – Geoscientists Without Borders® (GWB). The idea behind GWB is to use applied geophysics not only for oil and gas exploration but for humanitarian efforts – severe water shortages or the threat of earthquakes and tsunamis. Geoscientists are sent around the world to apply their knowledge and skills to the mitigation of natural hazards in some of the world’s neediest communities. The mission is to connect universities, students and other not-for profit organizations with communities in need through projects using applied geophysics to benefit people and the environment. Already projects are underway in Australia, northern Thailand, India, Honduras, Indonesia, Jamaica, Romania, and South Africa.
