NS33A:
Advances in Exploration Geophysics III


Session ID#: 7934

Session Description:
We seek papers on the advancement of geophysical methodology, instrumentation, processing, modeling and/or interpretation as applied to customary oil and gas, unconventional, geothermal, mineral, and water resources.  Other areas of exploration as well as environmental studies related to exploration are also encouraged. Seismic, electromagnetic, gravity, magnetics, ground penetrating radar, in addition to more non-traditional geophysical methods and integrated techniques are of interest. Case studies are welcome. This session is in collaboration with the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).
