Frank Frischknecht Leadership Award
The Frank Frischknecht Leadership Award was established to recognize an individual who shows extraordinary leadership in advancing the cause of near-surface geophysics through long-term (greater than or equal to 10 years), tireless, and enthusiastic support of the near-surface geophysics community. Such leadership is often boldly displayed by an invention, a new methodology or technique, a theoretical or conceptual advancement, or a unique innovation that transforms the nature and capabilities of near-surface geophysics.
The Award is jointly presented by the SEG Near-Surface Geophysics Technical Section and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society (EEGS). Presentation of the award alternates (on an approximately 18-month interval) between the Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems (SAGEEP) meeting and the SEG Near-Surface Geophysics Technical Section Reception held during the SEG Annual Meeting.
Prior to 2005, the SEG Near-Surface Geophysics Technical Section presented its own Frank Frischknecht Award in recognition of long-term, tireless, and enthusiastic support of the near-surface geophysics community.
