2008 Annual Meeting

Keynote Speaker

Luncheon - Wednesday

The keynote luncheon speaker will be Scott W. Tinker, Ph.D., Director of the Bureau of Economic Geology and State Geologist of Texas, Professor at the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, and AAPG President. The keynote address is: "Global Energy: Myths, Realities and Paradoxes." Scott will discuss several energy myths and outline the realities and paradoxes of global energy supply and demand, suggesting how we can bridge from today's energy realities to tomorrow's energy future. Addressing the waltz of the three E's (energy, economy and environment) will require a coordinated, balanced effort between industry, government and academia set on a broader pallet of public awareness.
