Statement on Hurricane Harvey (29 August 2017) Our hearts are in Houston today, and SEG is actively evaluating how the Society can be of assistance in the coming days, weeks, and months to our friends and colleagues affected by Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent tropical storm. Whether assisting with skills, science, knowledge, clean up, financial aid, or a combination thereof, we will do everything we can to help alleviate the devastating effects of this natural disaster. In the meantime, we ask that you consider a financial gift to one of the organizations providing disaster relief to the people of Houston and the surrounding areas.

This episode explores the inspiration for Geoscientists Without Borders® (GWB®) and the leaders that helped shape the program. GWB® uses the specialized knowledge and technical skills of geoscientists to mitigate natural hazards by connecting universities and industries with communities in need. These global projects involve archaeology; earthquake, landslide, volcano and tsunami preparedness; pollution mitigation; habitat management; and water management. Help us spread the word. Share this episode with your friends and colleagues. Communicate with your peers the work SEG and dedicated geoscientists in the GWB® program are doing. The more that people learn about GWB®, the better our chances of reaching sustained funding, recruiting volunteers, and continuing projects that impact communities. For additional information, including how to donate to GWB®, visit https://seg.org/gwb. Please subscribe to the show on your podcast app of choice.
