DESCRIPTION: Please join us on September 30th for our first Technical 
 Luncheon of the season! To be held at S&amp\;P Global's LC3 Lobby 
 Conference Room 3rd floor of Building L3. Thank you to our speaker and 
 S&amp\;P Global for hosting the event. Lunch to be served at 11:30 and the
  talk to begin at Noon. Sponsorship opportunities available. Logistics: 
 Lincoln Center L3\, Suite 800- 5430 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy\, Dallas\, TX 
 75240. Event to be held at S&amp\;P Global's Office in the Lobby 
 Conference Room. A member of the DGS will be by the Security desk in the 
 main lobby to take you up to the 3rd floor. If you have any dietary 
 restrictions please email Ryan Marshall ryan.marshall@spglobal.com and we 
 will try to accommodate. Title:100-Year Evolution of an Icon: How the 
 Geophone Became a Power Tool for Geophysics Rene' Mott Abstract: Since 
 their introduction in the early 1920s\, geophones have transformed from 
 simple mechanical devices into sophisticated\, data-intensive seismic 
 sensors\, reflecting a century of innovation in materials\, sensing 
 physics\, and acquisition technology. Early moving-coil geophones\, 
 constructed largely from heavy metals\, operated over a narrow bandwidth 
 of roughly 10&ndash\;110 Hz\, providing the foundational sensitivity 
 required for early seismic exploration. Advances in metallurgy\, 
 lightweight alloys\, and high-performance plastics subsequently reduced 
 instrument mass\, improved durability\, and enabled deployment in 
 increasingly challenging field environments. Parallel developments in data
  acquisition expanded seismic recording from analog systems to digital 
 cable-based networks\, then to radio telemetry\, and ultimately to 
 cellular and hybrid wireless platforms\, dramatically improving data 
 fidelity\, reliability\, and operational flexibility. As a result\, survey
  data volumes have grown exponentially: early recordings measured in 
 megabytes\, while modern high-channel-count\, densely sampled surveys 
 routinely produce 1.5&ndash\;2 petabytes of data. This evolution 
 illustrates the broader trajectory of seismic technology&mdash\;from 
 mechanical detectors to integrated\, high-bandwidth sensors capable of 
 deep\, dense\, and high-resolution subsurface imaging. To highlight this 
 history\, antique geophones will be on loan from the GSH Museum\, offering
  in-person attendees a tangible connection to the origins of seismic 
 exploration. Speaker Bio: Rene' Mott Senior Geophysical Advisor Rene' Mott
  graduated from Texas A&amp\;M with a B.S. in geophysics in 1982 and the 
 University of Texas at Dallas with a master's degree in sedimentology in 
 1996. She is a Senior Geophysical Advisor consulting on onshore assets 
 with an integrated team of engineers and geologists. Rene's specialties 
 include stratigraphic and structural interpretations\, with close 
 attention how to effectively utilize the waveform's characteristics and 
 rock qualities to find or enhance production. Over her career\, she has 
 been involved in many stages of numerous development projects\, 
 conventional and unconventional wells\, feasibility studies for CCUS\, and
  oil and gas discoveries. Her publications cover a wide range of 
 subjects\, including seismic characteristics\, reservoir 
 characterization\, risk reduction\, workflow interpretation\, and 
 visualization. She is a lifetime member of the GSH acting as the Treasurer
  for 2021&ndash\;2023\, the Office Chair for 2022&ndash\;2025\, President-
 Elect 2024-25\, President 2025-26\, the current Curator for the GSH 
 museum\, participates in outreach\, and a writer for the GSH Journal . 
 Rene's other interests include real estate\, traveling\, outdoor 
 activities\, fabric art with friends\, and her church. Sponsors:
