Student Awarded at SAGEEP 2024's Special IP Session
To celebrate Tucson's legacy on Induced Polarization (IP) at the recently held SAGEEP 2024, we organized a special session on IP and offered an award for the best IP presentation by a student or early career professional. The awardee received a presentation invitation and free registration by the orrganizers of the 7^th International Workshop on Induced Polarization.  A $1500 travel grant was also awarded by sponsor Ontash & Ermac.  The winner of the award was Nuray Oncul for her presentation "Non-linear Spectral Induced Polarization effects in Porous Media Containing Electron Conducting Minerals."  Nuray is a PhD candidate at Rutgers University, research focused on the use of SIP for mineral exploration.

Your Membership Benefit - Free Geoscience Communication Training 

We are delighted to inform you that the American Geosciences Institute, in partnership with the AAPG Foundation and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, is offering AGI Member Societies FREE access to the Geologize online course “Practical Geocommunication.” As a member of our society, you can take advantage of this free offer immediately.

The course, valued at $400 per person, provides an excellent opportunity for geoscientists to become more effective and powerful public ambassadors for our field, something that is urgently needed. Given the challenges facing both our field and society more broadly, it has perhaps never been more vital to effectively communicate geoscience to the public and other stakeholders.

2. Click on the 'AGI Access' button.
3. Register for the course (Free).

The training counts as nine hours of Continuing Professional Development, and a certificate is provided upon completion. In addition to becoming a more powerful voice for geoscience, you can gain a valuable professional credential.

The free offer is available for one year, so you are encouraged to take advantage soon!
