The premiere dates have been determined, and now world-class geoscience lectures will be beaming your way – available, literally, to anywhere on Earth where you happen to be. AAPG’s acclaimed Distinguished Lecture series will begin this month – starting with the season’s designated SEG-AAPG joint DL – and will continue throughout the fall and early winter seasons.

Three military veterans plus two dependents of military veterans, all lauded already for their first academic steps toward careers as professional geoscientists, have been selected as this year’s recipients of the AAPG Foundation’s Deana and Paul Strunk Military Veterans Scholarships. They become the 54-58th recipients of the Foundation’s MVSP, whose first scholarships were awarded in 2015, and the highest number of awardees for a given year since 2019. The MVSP is among the AAPG Foundation’s most popular and respected initiatives, which Foundation chair Jim McGhay said they are “proud and excited” to provide.
