Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG)
CSEG Foundation
The CSEG Foundation is the registered charitable arm of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG). Our mission is to encourage and support scientific, educational and charitable activities that benefit geophysicists through the solicitation of contributions aimed at promoting the development of geophysical knowledge, education and public awareness. Based in Calgary, we are a Canadian foundation with initiatives all across Canada.
Our activities are intended to supplement and support other CSEG committees by creating and increasing the Foundation's endowments in order to:
- Establish programs supporting education in geophysics and the earth sciences;
- Support post-secondary education in geophysics and the earth sciences, including the CSEG scholarship programs;
- Support continuing education of geophysicists;
- Support scientific activities and academic research programs;
- Support the development and improvement of geophysical methods;
- Liaise with other geophysical foundations throughout the world (e.g. SEG Foundation)
- Support the preservation of the history of geophysical exploration.
The activities of the CSEG Foundation are carried out by dedicated volunteer CSEG members. Across Canada, the CSEG has a membership of 2000, which includes a student membership of 300. Its aim is to promote the science of geophysics as well as fellowship and cooperation among members.
The inspiration to form the CSEG Foundation and raise funds to support these activities come from the CSEG members' strong commitment to their profession and desire to create awareness and support study of the science of geophysics.
