Dr. Mukul Bhatia, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, will be giving a talk on Thursday,  March 28th at 2pm in SR 223. His talk will cover the essentials for leadership and how emotional intelligence plays a role in enhancing your leadership opportunities. This is important as you go into any studies, undergraduate or graduate, and especially professional environments. 

SEG Wavelets are hosting Victor M. Taboada, PhD, P.E., and Marine Geotechnical Manager Americas from Fugro this Friday, April 19th from 1-2:30pm in SR 634!

His talk is titled, "An Outlook on Renewable Energy: Foundations, Installation, and Future Trends for Offshore Wind in the US". This presentation will provide quantitative information about the offshore wind market, technology trends, and cost trends in the United States and worldwide. It covers the global offshore wind industry for the 2023 calendar year and the most significant US domestic industry progress and events from January 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023. The foundation types and their installations are presented with videos. Finally, offshore wind cost data are presented, showing that the estimated levelized cost of energy for commercial-scale offshore wind projects in the United States declined 13 % to $84/MW-hour (MWh) on average, with a range of $61/MWh to $116/MWh, and future trends are predicted.

Dr. Sergey Fomel, Wallace E. Pratt Professor of Geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin and the director of the Texas Consortium for Computational Seismology,  joined us at UH to give his talk regarding science and ethics and what moral obligations there are for scientists outside of professional conduct. This struck up a lot of good discussion amongst our attendees. Also, fun fact, this talk was also based on the new Oppenheimer movie!

Dr. Mark Willis joined SEG Wavelets at UH to give his Distinguished Instructor Short Course on Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Seismic Measurements on February 25, 2024.
