How Latin America Is Shaping the Next Era of Geophysics

“Latin America doesn't just belong in SEG; it can help shape SEG's future. And SEG, in turn, can help shape a more connected and innovative future for geoscience in our region.” Fernanda Hermes, SEG's Latin America Market Development & Engagement Manager, shares how Latin America is becoming a key contributor to global geophysics through its geological diversity, energy transitions, and active student communities. She explains how local partnerships and regional presence help SEG better support members and expand opportunities. Her insights show a region full of talent, ambition, and momentum for the next decade of applied geophysics. KEY TAKEAWAYS ＞ Latin America is central to emerging sectors such as geothermal, CCS, critical minerals, and near‑surface studies. ＞ Strong student chapters and local societies are driving community, visibility, and professional growth. ＞ SEG’s regional presence builds trust, strengthens partnerships, and opens new opportunities for collaboration.
