Dallas Geophysical Society – Summer 2026 Updates

Dear Members and Friends,

As we transition into summer, thank you to our members and sponsors for making Spring 2026 another successful season. We continue to grow and thrive and are now 79 years young as the Dallas Geophysical Society. From technical talks to social events, your engagement continues to strengthen the DGS community. And of course very special thanks to the society for your help awarding Maurice Cox with Emeritus membership status in the society.  

Strong attendance and participation in the technical and social programming indicates a revived and healthy society. Our successful Spring Shotgun Tournament in partnership with the Dallas Geological Society is a great example of collaboration across our organizations. We finished the spring season with a sold out lunch talk on May 20 with Dave Lumley presenting on Seismic Full Waveform Inversion: from Reservoirs to Plate Tectonics. The meeting included a cross section of students and professionals. There were even some job opportunities announced at the beginning of the meeting!  

How to get Involved in the Fall? 
DGS continues to grow, and we’re actively looking for new volunteers and future leaders. If you’re interested in helping shape the direction of the society, we encourage you to get involved. 

Looking Ahead 
Planning is already underway for a strong Fall 2026 technical program, and we welcome interest from potential speakers and host organizations. For 2025-2026 we had several great technical talks sharing knowledge between Operators, Consultants and Service Providers. We look forward to building on the Spring with a Fall season of high-impact Geophysical technical content and networking opportunities for the DFW community!  

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at upcoming social events this summer!
