The second annual AAPG
Spring Student Expo, scheduled for March 15-16 at the University
of Oklahoma campus in Norman, has added some new attractions for
students and companies who want to meet each other.
All three of the new
activities are free to Expo students and company participants.
They are:
- AAPG Distinguished
Lecturer Roger
M. Slatt will be teaching a mini-course on March 14 and
15 on "Petroleum Geology of Deep-water (Turbidite) Depositional
Systems." Times are: March 14, 1:00-5:00 p.m. and March 13,
8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
- A one-day field
seminar to the Arbuckle Mountains will be offered by the Oklahoma
Geological Survey on March 15.
- Also on March 15,
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Alan Witten will teach "Computer Graphics
for Geophysics," using a "hands-on" approach to MATLAB for 1-,
2- and 3-dimensional display of geological and geophysical data.
The spring student
expo is designed to mutually benefit geoscience students interested
in energy careers and energy industry representatives seeking
interns and fulltime employees. It provides the opportunity for
students to showcase their work in poster format and to network
with industry representatives, who are also invited to promote
their company's exploration, development and service activities.
Attending companies
will be provided with student resumes and will be able to talk
with students during an informal Icebreaker the evening of March
15; during poster sessions and onsite interviews on March 16;
and during a Saint Patrick's Day dinner party that will end the
expo.
Over 90 students from
29 colleges and universities from 13 states participated in the
2001 inaugural event. An even larger turnout is anticipated for
2002.
The spring expo, scheduled
to immediately follow the AAPG annual meeting in Houston, is scheduled
to take advantage of spring break for a number of mid-continent
and Gulf Coast universities. Hosts for the AAPG expo are the University
of Oklahoma School of Geology and Geophysics, the Sarkeys Energy
Center and the Oklahoma Geological Survey.
Fees are $10 for AAPG
Student members and $20 for non-members. Faculty attending in
support of students are invited at no fee.
