In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with Steve Sloan on smart city geophysics, the featured special section in September's The Leading Edge. Steve highlights the wide array of papers highlighting the tools and techniques used to achieve the best results in less than ideal environments. This is a great primer on the near-surface and its value in major population areas.
Staying up to date on the latest techniques and technology is a key part of being a geophysicist. In this episode, Patricia de Lugรฃo provides a helpful analysis of the benefits and uses of magnetotellurics (MT), based on her upcoming 2020 Honorary Lecturer (Latin America) tour called "Environment-friendly exploration using magnetotellurics."

Patricia de Lugรฃo received a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental engineering and water resources from the University of South Carolina in 1988, a master's degree in geophysics from the Observatรณrio Nacional in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and a Ph.D. in geophysics from University of Utah in 1997. At Observatรณrio Nacional, she worked with Sergio Fontes on the acquisition, processing, and modeling of magnetotelluric data from the Recรดncavo Basin, Brazil. During her Ph.D. studies at the University of Utah, de Lugรฃo had the good fortune to work with Phil Wannamaker and Michael Zhdanov on the development of modeling and inversion algorithms for magnetotellurics. After her Ph.D., de Lugรฃo worked in the research department at Western Atlas in Houston with Kurt-Martin Strack, where she applied her knowledge in modeling and inversion to the development of algorithms for array borehole tools. In the Geosignal division of Western Atlas, Patricia worked with Lee Bell on two- and three-dimensional refraction tomography techniques for statics correction and initial velocity model for prestack depth migration of seismic data from the foothills of South America to the Gulf of Mexico.

In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with Mohamed Ahmed on geophysical test sites. In this conversation, Mohamed highlights the importance of field exercises, why geophysical test sites can act as a competitive advantage, and the many ways test sites can be used by students and companies (for free).
In this forward-thinking conversation, Dr. Michal Ruder shares the most important thing for explorationists to focus on right now, what she would say to the CEO of an oil and gas company, the future of GIS data for exploration, and the importance of nonseismic work in geophysics. As the world transitions to more forms of hybrid learning, this episode will help provide clarity and direction in your continuing education.
In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with Ariel Lellouch and Tieyuan Zhu on distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), the featured special section in November's The Leading Edge. Ariel and Tieyuan highlight new developments in algorithms impacting microseismic, new findings for hydraulic fracturing, and discuss their disagreement for the current rate the geophysics industry is adopting and utilizing DAS. This is an exciting conversation on technology that has a wide range of applications for geophysics.
Sue Carr and Patrick Meroney discuss the life of the well from the February 2022 special section in The Leading Edge. Sue and Patrick discuss the importance of a shared definition of a well, spotlight the most important well component for geophysicists, highlight the five life cycles of a well, and break down why well logs are the key piece for successful drilling.
Heloise B. Lynn started working in reflection seismic in the oil/gas industry in 1975, processing seismic data at Texaco, in Houston, Texas. In 1978, she completed her MS in Exploration Geophysics, Stanford University, and in December, 1979, she completed her PhD in Geophysics, also at Stanford University, in (post-stack) depth migration and interpretation issues within migration algorithms. Lynn worked for Texaco, Amoco, BP, and then in 1984, she and her husband, Walt, formed Lynn Incorporated. Her consulting experience includes working in North America, Hungary, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Australia, Thailand, China, and Japan. She specializes in the use of 3D multiazimuth and/or multicomponent data to obtain structure, lithology, porosity, pore fluids, in-situ stress, and aligned porosity (aka natural fractures).

Jack Petrovich Dvorkin earned his PhD in 1980 and MS and BSc in 1974 in Continuum Mechanics and Mathematics, all from Lomonosov Moscow University. Currently, he is a faculty member and program leader for Rock Science Program at the College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences at King Fahd University in Saudi Arabia, College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences. In 1989-2017, he worked as a senior research scientist in Rock Physics Laboratory at Stanford University. Between 1974 and 1989, he worked in the petroleum industry in the USSR. He has co-authored 180 scientific papers, six books, and nine U.S. patents.

The goal of the talk is to start you on the way to becoming a data connoisseur, instead of merely an indiscriminate consumer. The talk will be example-driven for a broad audience, however I will also have tutorial sections that I can include for academic audiences wanting to dig deeper with a longer talk.
