b'ASEG 2021 Honours and AwardsFeatureThe ASEG is pleased to recognise Fionas commitment andIn 2013, he and Andrew Duncan founded Loupe Geophysics, distinguished contributions to the ASEG with this award of thea WA company which has developed a new EM instrument ASEG Service Certificate. to map electrical conductivity in the near surface to a depth of around 25 m for use in environment, groundwater, mines, industrial work sites and urban areas with considerable EM interference. In recent years Greg has also been active in promoting geophysics in Myanmar and helped re-establish the undergraduate geophysics course at the University of Yangon with Mike Dentith.Greg played a significant role in expanding the application of geophysics into the environmental field. From encouraging fellow scientists to pursuing environmental causes, to educating farmers and parliamentary Ministers, Gregs active role in the fight against salinisation and other environmental hazards resulted in numerous public appearances and contributions to all forms of media. Greg teamed with numerous influential geophysicists and environmental scientists to publish many papers on the application of geophysical techniques for environmental applications. Greg also lectured at Curtin University on environmental geophysics from 2002 to 2012.Gregs contributions to the field of geophysics can be demonstrated by his team receiving an Engineering Excellence award from the Institute of Engineers in 2001 for the study of Fiona Duncan leakage from irrigation channels using geophysics.Also in 2001, Greg was awarded the inaugural ASEG Lindsay Honorary Membership of the ASEG: Gregory Street Ingall Memorial Award for the promotion of geophysics to the wider community.
