Beside getting involved in different
initiatives within the School of Earth Sciences and
the Geophysics Department, I am also involved in several activities
of the
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
(SEG) .
I am the Faculty Advisor of the
SEG Student Section for Stanford University .
My main task in this role
is to make sure that
we organize a lecture at Stanford
when SEG offers a
Distinguished Lecture
that is of interest to the Geophysical community at Stanford.
I am also member of the SEG Research Committee (SEGRC) and help
the organization of workshops and other events.
In 2005 I will be working on the following two tasks for SEG:
-
SEG/EAGE Advanced Modeling (SEAM) project
The exploration seismology research community needs a new set (at least one)
of 3-D synthetic data sets to develop and validate imaging and
processing algorithms.
Unfortunately, the computational task of computing these data sets
is still beyond the reach of most organizations or institutions.
Therefore, the SEGRC has formed a Modeling subcommittee to organize
and supervise a cooperative project to model a collection
of data sets representing
different exploration environments and testing different
capabilities of processing algorithms.
At the beginning of 2005 this project is in its infancy,
but as it gains momentum, I will post relevant information
on the SEAM web page.
-
SEG/EAGE 2006 Summer Research Workshop
Every summer SEG and EAGE co-organize a Research Workshop,
sponsored by the SEGRC and the EAGE Research Committee.
One year in Europe and one year in North America.
The theme that the SEGRC has chosen for the Summer 2006 workshop,
that will take place in North America,
is:
Subsalt Exploration &
Development: Imaging, interpretation & drilling.
What have we learned?" .
I am a co-organizer of this workshop,
and I will post relevant material
on the
SEG/EAGE 2006 Summer Research Workshop
web page,
as the
organization makes progress.
