Complacency Can Be Very Costly

As a volunteer for AAPG and the Dallas Geological Society it has been clear to me that the “90/10” rule holds with geologists as with all other organizations and professions.

If you joined AAPG in the last 40 years, you’ve only known EXPLORER in its long-standing tabloid format.
