  • SEG Education and Training Curriculum Brochure (2015)
    Education and Training Curriculum Course Catalog 2015 Mentorship Education Opportunity Exploration Discovery SOCIETY OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGISTS Welcome to the SEG Education and Training Curriculum! The Education and Training Committee was established in 2012 and, under the chairmanship of successive President-Elects and the management of coordinator Elizabeth Holley, has brought a new objectivity to the delivery of the spectrum of workshops, short courses, and field trips that are such an important element of the Society’s activities today. These events are hosted at various venues, including the Society’s excellent facilities in Littleton, and are often integrated with major conferences that are supported to various degrees by the Society. The major SEG conference this year is to be held in Hobart in September and the planning for the September-2016 conference in Izmir, Turkey, is also already well underway. The locations of these two conferences alone give some insight to the Society’s growing global reach and it is the E&T Committee’s intention to extend this reach within geographic regions where the opportunities to develop skills in mineral deposit geology and exploration remain limited. We anticipate using our regional representation reflected by our Regional Vice Presidents, as well as seeking the guidance of senior industry members, to identify new venues and new opportunities that will benefit our widening geographic membership. The results of this growing outreach will become progressively more evident but in the meantime don’t just “watch this space” — please let us have your ideas for new courses and workshops and where you would like to see them held.

Australia’s Identified Mineral Resources 2004. Geoscience Australia, Canberra. * Geoscience Australia grew out of the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) and the Division of National Mapping, both of which were founded soon after World War 2. BMR became the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) in 1992, several years after the Division of National Mapping had become the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG). In 2001, AGSO and AUSLIG merged to become Geoscience Australia, the nation’s geoscience research and information agency. Further information is available at www.ga.gov.au.
