Abstract

The Iota Delta Chapter is proud to announce its establishment as the first Sigma Gamma Epsilon chapter in the Pacific, with the hope that it will serve as a foundation for future chapters across the region. The chapter has been created at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). The Department of Earth Sciences is loosely divided into three working research divisions (Geophysics and Tectonics [G&T], Marine and Environmental Geology [MEG], and Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology [VGP]), with numerous laboratories and research facilities.
