Nigerian Wins Top Geophysics Award

A Nigerian, Dr Maxwell Azuka Meju, has been selected by the Society of Exploration Geophysicist (SEG) for the 2019 Reginald Fessenden Award, one of the highest prizes in exploration geophysics. The SEG is headquartered in Tulsa, United States of America.       

According to a notification of the award signed by the president of the society, Robert Stewart, Azuka Menu and Luis Gallardo were selected for the award for developing the cross- gradient joint-inversion method, an invention now widely used in academia and various industries. This method made it possible to combine data from multiple unrelated phenomena to arrive at one consistent solution, thus reducing uncertainty in decision making with observation data.
