Advances in Exploration Geophysics

Session ID#: 160142

Session Description:
We seek abstracts on the advancement of geophysical methodology, instrumentation, processing, modeling, and/or interpretation as applied to conventional/unconventional oil & gas, geothermal, mineral, and water resources exploration. Other areas of exploration as well as related environmental studies are also encouraged. Developments and case studies in seismic, geoelectric, electromagnetic, gravity, magnetic, ground penetrating radar, in addition to non-traditional geophysical methods and integrated techniques are welcome. Submissions on industry relevant innovations and applications are particularly encouraged. We aim to foster interaction between academia and industry in this session in an effort to bridge existing gaps and especially promote active involvement and development of students and early career professional with feedback during the session. This session is in collaboration with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).
