AAPG Recognizes Bureau Researchers for Outstanding Achievements

Success can be measured by many metrics, and Bureau of Economic Geology researchers more than measure up. At the recent Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy (IMAGE ’23) conference, the AAPG recognized several Bureau researchers for their exemplary accomplishments.

Bureau Research Scientist Associate III Lily Horne was honored with the prestigious AAPG Petroleum Structure and Geomechanics Division 2023 Best Recent Publication Award for her outstanding research on fault interpretation in application to induced seismicity.

The AAPG bestowed on Senior Research Scientist Bill Ambrose its 2023 Pioneer Award. This award is presented to long-standing members who have significantly contributed to the AAPG and who have made meaningful and significant contributions to the science of geology.

Most notable, however, was the presentation of the AAPG’s highest honor, the 2023 Sidney Powers Memorial Award, to Senior Research Scientist Dr. Kitty Milliken. This award was presented to Dr. Milliken for her distinguished and outstanding contributions to and achievements in petroleum geology.

Please join all of us at the Bureau in congratulating these renowned geoscientists for their remarkable achievements!
