Welcome

The Geophysical Society of Pittsburgh is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the science of geophysics in the Appalachian Basin. We are an official section of the Society of Exploration Geophysics (SEG).


Bi-monthly meetings are generally held from September to May on the first Tuesday of each month at various locations around the Greater Pittsburgh area. However, be sure to check the event calendar as exceptions to this rule occur often. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.

CCUS Research in Pennsylvania: Where We've Benn and Where We're Going


Presented by

Michele L. Cooney, PG

Geoscience Supervisor for the Pittsburgh Geologic Resources Division of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey


The Pennsylvania Geological Survey (PAGS) has been involved in carbon sequestration research for over two decades. This talk will present the results from those 20+ years of research and discuss PAGS’s newest project, the Central Appalachian Partnership (CAP) for Carbon Storage Development.


About our speaker:

Michele Cooney serves as the Geoscience Supervisor in the Pittsburgh Office of the Pennsylvania Geological Survey’s Subsurface Geology Division. Michele has worked in the petroleum research and environmental remediation fields since 2013.


Her experience includes reservoir characterization; identifying targets for geological carbon storage opportunities; and interpretation of Appalachian basin stratigraphy. She is a licensed Professional Geologist (Pennsylvania) and currently serves at the Secretary of the Potential Gas Committee (PGC) and as a Board Member of the Pennsylvania Council for Professional Geologists (PCPG). She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Allegheny College and a Master of Science from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

New Year's Celebration


Members of the GSP + PAPG celebrated the New Year with their colleagues at Southern Tier Brewery, January 9, 2024. A good time was had by all.



Successful 4th Annual ABGS + Golf Outing




The GSP recently successfully hosted the 4th Annual Appalachian Basin Geophysical Symposium (ABGS) in Canonsburg, PA. Over 50 attendees from four states + Canada were able to network and listen to innovative talks on seismic interpretation, processing and well based applications relevant to the Appalachian Basin. All driven by the success of the largest natural gas producing basin in the country. The keynote speaker, past SEG President David Monk, presented a fascinating history of seismic exploration through the lens of AI.




  


The 11th Annual GSP Golf Open was held the following day as 40 golfers honed their games on a beautiful spring day in Pittsburgh.


The meeting and golf outing were generously supported by 13 industry sponsors.


   


The GSP Board looks forward to hosting the 5th Annual ABGS in 2024 and encourages you to add the dates June 5-6, 2024 to your calendar.


All the best,

Scott Gorham

GSP President 2022-23
