SEG OU Student Chapter

New leadership, new season! 🚀
This week, we held our annual elections for the SEG OU Student Chapter. Meet our new officers:

- President: Edward Ruark
- Vice President: Valentina Tellez
- Treasurer: Noor Choudhry
- Secretary: Aniq Ahmad

Congrats to the new team! Wishing you all the best, good vibes, and lots of success in the upcoming fall and spring semesters 🥳 We’re looking forward to the exciting activities ahead!

Last week, our students participated in the 2026 GSH Spring Symposium and the Challenge Bowl competition hosted by the Geological Society of Houston and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in Houston.

Congratulations to our team for their hard work and for representing our chapter in these events! 🥳

Great turnout at our SEG–OGS Seismic Research Showcase! 🙌

Students and researchers came together to share exciting work in seismology, induced seismicity, icequakes, and machine learning.

A special highlight was seeing our chapter leadership in action, with both the President and Vice President presenting their research alongside other outstanding speakers👏

Thanks to everyone who joined us and made this event a success!

Stay tuned for more from SEG OU 👀
