Gary Mavko (1949) is an emeritus professor of geophysics at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in geophysics from Stanford in 1977. Gary then joined the Tectonophysics branch of the USGS in Menlo Park where he worked in areas of rock physics and earthquake fault mechanics. He returned to Stanford in February, 1989, and is now Professor (Research) of Geophysics. Mavko was a 2006 Distinguished Lecturer of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.[http://www.seg.org/SEGportalWEBproject/portals/SEG_Online.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pg_gen_content&Doc_Url=prod/SEG-Education/Ed-Distinguish-Lect-Program/spring2006/mavkobio.htm Gary Mavko, Distinguished Lecturer] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080425214715/http://www.seg.org/SEGportalWEBproject/portals/SEG_Online.portal?_nfpb=true |date=2008-04-25 }}, Society of Exploration Geophysicists. Accessed June 19, 2010 In 2001 he was elected an Honorary Member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists "for his deep understanding of rock physics and for the distillation of his ideas into the “squirt” theory for porous, saturated rocks".[http://www.seg.org/SEGportalWEBproject/prod/SEG-About-SEG/About-Business/Business-Annual-Report/Documents/ar2001.pdf Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2001 Annual Report]{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, p. 22, Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
