How can SEG complement the relationships forged on university campuses, within industry, and in the field? Show notes at seg.org/podcast.

Norm Hyne, lecturer and past chair of The University of Tulsa Geology and Geophysics Department, explores applied geophysics from a non-technical professional’s perspective. Listeners, we want to hear from you: Why did you choose geophysics? What do you love about the science and the work you do?

Lev Vernik discusses his new book Seismic Petrophysics in Quantitative Interpretation. Learn more at http://shop.seg.org/Online-Store/Product-Detail/ProductId/15563143. Early praise for his book says it strikes "the right balance between the theory and practical application...[making] this manuscript unique among other publications (Kostia Azbel - Shell) and that Dr. Vernik "has outlined a workflow that elegantly handles the complexities of the subject while maintaining a practical point of view (Marco Perez - Apache)." Join Dr. Vernik, and other authors of new SEG books, at the Dallas Annual Meeting for a meet and greet - Monday, 17 October from 2:40 to 3:20 p.m. and Tuesday, 18 October from 9:40 to 10:20 a.m. - in the Wiki Meetup area located in the SEG Pavilion, Booth 120.

James Gaiser, SEG’s 2016 Distinguished Instructor, joins Andrew Geary to discuss his new book and course, 3C Seismic and VSP: Converted waves and vector wavefield applications. More info at seg.org/podcast. The SEG Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC) is an eight-hour, one-day course on a topic of current and widespread interest presented at locations throughout the world. With an emphasis on the unique aspects of vector wavefields, anisotropy, and the important relationships that unify S-waves and P-waves, the 2016 DISC presents an overview of 3C seismic theory and practical application: from fundamentals of PS-waves and vertical seismic profiles, through to acquisition and processing including interpretation techniques. “As a person who has published books, I am awed by the work the author has done to create this seminal publication.” Bob A. Hardage Senior Research Scientist, Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin • To register for the course, visit seg.org/disc • To purch
