Going to San Antonio for the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Annual Meeting in September? ERL will be there with technical presentations on our latest work and a reception.
MIT ERL/EAPS Alumni and Friends Reception at SEG - Monday Evening
MIT Earth Resources Laboratory and MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences will host a reception in San Antonio for our alumni, as well as friends in industry and academia, on Monday, September 16, 2019, 6-8pm local time. This is an annual tradition that has been on a Tuesday evening in past years, so please note it will be on Monday evening this year. If you are interested in attending and you have not yet received an invitation, please contact erl-info@mit.edu.
