SEG 2008 Annual Report - Geo-Mentoring Committee
The time of year has arrived for our submittal of the Geo-Mentoring Committee Report for the SEG 2008 Annual Report.
The beauty of this report can be its brevity through "linkage(s)" allowing you the reader to directly judge the value of Geo-Mentoring and its richness as shown by "posts" by geophysicists and geoscientists from around the world.
Your review can be as simple as "linking" to http://geo-mentoring.blogspot.com
Enjoy!
For the more traditional, the SEG Geo-Mentoring Committee is a new committee with a mission of MENTORING. A high priority this year has been to "collaborate" and "communicate" through the internet to effectively reach our global community of geophysicists numbering in the thousands. Participation in our 'blog' and our program(s), ie. 2008 OTC New Waves for young professionals have been of priority focus (May 2008).
Participation has successfully demonstrated a proof-of-concept for our internet strategy. The robustness of participation has been limited and seems to be related to the "newness" of using a 'blog' in this fashion and the format of the 'blogs' used during this past 8 months. A shift in ''blog" format to Google was done after the first 6 months. Clearly more experimentation in formats, etc., is needed.
Participation over the prior 8 months is of good quality and opens the aperture for more ideas for testing new geophysical cybercultural approaches.
It is exciting to see Geo-Mentoring's story unfold through the following participants:
