Steve Masterman to complete his time as State Geologist of Alaska

Steven S. Masterman is planning to retire as State Geologist and Director at the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys this spring. Steve was appointed to this role in 2013, as successor to Bob Swenson. He performed superbly as AASG VP, President Elect, President, and Past President from 2015 to 2019. Steve hosted a wonderfully successful AASG Annual Meeting in 2016, and the Alaska team heroically hosted AASG digital infrastructure for over a decade. Prior to his Alaska state government service, Steve worked extensively in the mineral industry, including work in Alaska, Peru and Nevada. He earned a bachelor’s degree in mining geology from the Royal School of Mines, and a master’s degree in geological engineering from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Thanks for your service, Steve!
