Mark Lane - 2017
Outstanding Volunteers Award Recipient Mark Lane
CSEG Outreach Committee; Seismic in Motion for Students (SIMfS); and Earth Science for Society (ESfS)
Citation by Helen Issac
Mark began his volunteering in 1997 when he wrote a series of 10 articles, called Systems, published in the RECORDER. In 2006 Mark changed his professional focus to technical training and development and immediately returned to volunteering when the CSEG Outreach Committee was formed. Through Outreach he has worked on many projects: school presentations, the Challenge Bowl, and the Geophysics Industry Field Trip. His main focus has been Seismic in Motion for Students (SIMfS), and Earth Science for Society (ESfS) (along with its predecessor, the Kids in Science Program (KISP)). He has volunteered with SIMfS and ESfS programs continuously for the past decade and sat as Chair of Outreach in 2011 to 2012.
Asked why he puts so much effort into volunteering, and evangelizing others to do the same, Mark simply replies, “I get to meet interesting people.” Thank you, Mark, for being an outstanding volunteer.
