Mission
To promote the science and profession of geophysics, and to foster fellowship and cooperation among all persons interested in geophysics.
Programs and Opportunities
Formed in 1947, the GSH has become the heart of a Houston-based geophysical community and provides opportunities to interact with colleagues throughout the profession. It is a public foundation and a charitable, tax-exempt organization under 501(c)(3) of the IRS tax codes.
As one of the largest sections of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the GSH encourages and supports scientific, educational, and charitable activities of benefit to geophysicists. The Geophysical Society of Houston conducts monthly technical luncheons, two technical sessions (with breakfast) and a number of meetings for special interest groups. We host an annual two-day Spring Symposium and support community outreach programs. Continuing education opportunities in exploration geophysics are available at all levels.
