in Physics at the 葫芦影业, has been selected as co-editor-in-chief for
the Journal of Seismic Exploration. Weglein is a professor in the Department of Physics
and in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. He will serve as co-editor-in-chief
alongside Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor emeritus M. Nafi Toks枚z.
His co-editorship, which will commence in January 2018, is the culmination of a 25-year involvement as a member of the journal鈥檚 editorial board.
The Journal of Seismic Exploration is dedicated to publishing 鈥渞esearch in seismic modeling, processing, inversion, interpretation, field techniques, borehole techniques, tomography, instrumentation and software.鈥�
With a career that has spanned both academia and industry, Weglein will bring his
expertise to the journal. Weglein is the founding director of the Mission-Oriented
Seismic Research Program in UH鈥檚 College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. The
research consortium, supported by major oil and service companies, addresses high
priority seismic exploration and production problems. Weglein is also co-author with
Bob Stolt of the two-volume Cambridge University Press graduate textbook 鈥淪eismic
Imaging and Inversion.鈥�
鈥淭his is positive news and recognition for UH and our role in petroleum exploration seismology,鈥� Weglein said.
Weglein was the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Distinguished Lecturer in 2003. In 2008, he received the CCNY Townsend Harris Medal, and in 2010, the SEG Reginald Fessenden Medal for contributions to seismic exploration. In 2016, Weglein was awarded the SEG鈥檚 highest honor, the Maurice Ewing Medal.
