Exploration Geophysics
Session ID#: 250956
Session Description:
We are accepting abstracts on the development of geophysical techniques, equipment, processing, modeling, and/or interpretation for use in exploration geophysics including conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources, geothermal, critical minerals, natural hydrogen, CO2 sequestration and water resources. Other areas of exploration as well as related environmental studies are also encouraged. Submissions on developments and case studies in seismic, geoelectric, electromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, and ground-penetrating radar, as well as non-traditional geophysical methods such as fiber-optic sensing and integrated techniques, are welcome. We particularly encourage industry-relevant innovations and applications. The aim of this session is to foster collaboration between academia and industry, bridging any existing gaps and encouraging the active involvement and development of students and early career professionals. This session is in collaboration with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).
