SEG Awards \ 
Reginald Fessenden

This award, designated the SEG Medal Award at its inception in 1961, was renamed in 1977 to recognize Reginald Fessenden for his role as the originator of the concept of reflection and refraction surveying in 1917. The Reginald Fessenden Award is awarded to a person who has made a specific technical contribution to exploration geophysics, such as an invention or a theoretical or conceptual advancement, which, in the opinion of the Honors and Awards Committee and the Executive Committee, merits special recognition.
