CPP SEG Student Chapter

Already missing field modules? Have a favorite photo on your phone that exemplifies the exploration/comradery/chaos of near surface geophysics? Have a picture of Peter getting the department vans stuck in the desert and making the undergrads pull it out? Consider submitting a photo to the 2nd Annual Near Surface Geophysics Technical Section Photo Contest.

Criteria for judgement are:
~How well does the photo illustrate near-surface geophysics in the field?
~Is the picture well framed with the subject of the photo the focus?
~Is the photo aesthetically pleasing to the viewer?

Top prizes received signed textbooks which you can keep forever, or donate to the club for future use.

Message me if you need any help with choosing a photo and photoshop touch-ups.

Good Luck!

In one photo and one sentence ... share your best field or lab experience with us. The 2nd Annual Photo Contest is open! Learn more: https://go.seg.org/2VhzC8q

Come find us at 34.0591, -117.8236 from 2:00-4:00 today.

Come check out our booth this Wednesday, August 21st at the Cal Poly Pomona Bronco Fusion Club Fair on the university quad. We will be demoing geophysical hardware and will be having some serious fun. Bring a friend and show them what it is exploration geophysicists do on a daily basis. UTM coordinates for our specific table locations will be posted on Wednesday. Hope to see you there!

We have our second meeting of the semester today! See you at U-hour in room A-634!

We're proud of our SEG and EEGS e-board who presented posters at the Southern California Earthquake Center Annual Meeting in Palm Springs!

Yesterday SEG members Peter Flores, Kyle Macy, Jennifer Pfau and Rachel Kreuziger went out to Rancho Palos Verdes and set up 3 seismometers on the Portuguese Bend landslide. Approximately 2 hours of ambient noise was recorded, which included the movements of two goats out on an afternoon stroll (thankfully they didn't attempt to eat our cables, sadly no picture was taken).

Just a reminder tonight is our Brewery Social! 6pm on the patio at Brew Works!

Congratulations to the new officers for 2018-2019! 🎉🎉

Today, SEG members Veronica Hernandez, Nicole Gage, Chloe Sutkowski, Oscar Prado, and Rathana Sambath conducted the first CPP archaeological geophysics field survey. This site in Riverside, CA is rumored to contain the remains of what was La Placita/Agua Mansa pre-1862 flooding of the Santa Ana River. Equipment employed: GEM Systems magnetic gradiometer and GSSI ground penetrating radar.

Advanced Topics in Seismology conducted a ReMi (Refraction Microtremor) survey on campus today. Data will be processed and evaluated to determine shear wave velocity, as is done in geotechnical site characterizations. We are all excited about adding this resume boost!
