Weglein to Present Keynote Address at SEG/KOC Workshop
Arthur Weglein, the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished University Chair in Physics at 兔子先生, has been invited to give a keynote at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists / Kuwait Oil Company (SEG/KOC) workshop. The workshop covers advances in land seismic processing and will take place in Kuwait City, Kuwait, December 3-5, 2018.
This SEG/KOC invite will be Weglein鈥檚 second keynote address for 2018. Weglein was also invited to give the keynote address for the post-convention workshop on 鈥淭he Business Value of Multiple Identification and Removal 鈥擲tatus, Challenges, and Road Ahead鈥� at SEG鈥檚 International Exposition and 88th Annual Meeting planned for October in Anaheim, California. SEG鈥檚 Annual Meeting is the world's largest oil, energy and mineral exposition showcasing cutting-edge technology for use in exploration and associated industries.
Weglein is the founding director of the (M-OSRP) at UH.
鈥淭hese keynote invitations are recognition of the important leadership role that UH plays, and that research programs like M-OSRP provide, in the development and delivery of new and more effective seismic capability,鈥� Weglein said.
The title of the SEG/KOC Workshop keynote presentation is 鈥淎 perspective on identifying and addressing prioritized challenges in on-shore seismic processing: recent advances and open issues鈥� (abstract and related paper).
Weglein was the SEG Distinguished Lecturer in 2003 and received the Townsend Harris Medal from CCNY/CUNY in 2008. He received SEG鈥檚 Reginald Fessenden Medal in 2010, for his contributions to exploration seismology. In 2016, he was awarded SEG鈥檚 highest honor and recognition, the Maurice Ewing Medal. He co-authored a graduate textbook for Cambridge University Press with Bob Stolt in 2012, and in January 2018 was selected to be Co-Editor-in-Chief (along with Nafi Toksoz of MIT) of the Journal of Seismic Exploration.
