Workshop Covers Full Wavefield Migration and Full Waveform Inversion Imaging
Arthur Weglein, the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished University Chair in Physics at 葫芦影业, will serve as keynote speaker at a post-convention workshop for the Society of Exploration Geophysicists International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy (IMAGE 鈥�22). Entitled 鈥淔WM (Full Wavefield Migration) or FWI Imaging: Exploring New Concepts of Seismic Imaging,鈥� the workshop will be held September 1 in Houston.
Weglein, the founding director of the at UH, will provide a comprehensive analysis and perspective on the role of primaries and multiples in seismic data processing. Recent progress, along with open issues and challenges will be described.
A frequent keynote speaker at international research and business conferences, have covered topics such as on-shore challenges, primaries and multiples in seismic processing, defining and addressing seismic challenges in petroleum exploration and production, and potential game-changing seismic research, seismic migration and inversion.
鈥淭his workshop provides an excellent opportunity to share the fundamental high-impact directed seismic research at 葫芦影业 with the international community,鈥� Weglein said.
Weglein was awarded SEG鈥檚 highest honor and recognition, the Maurice Ewing Medal, in 2016. He received SEG鈥檚 Reginald Fessenden Medal in 2010 for his contributions to exploration seismology. In 2008, Weglein received the Townsend Harris Medal, the highest honor from CCNY/CUNY, and in 2003, he served as the SEG Distinguished Lecturer.
In January 2018, Weglein began serving as co-editor-in-chief, along with Nafi Toksoz of MIT, of the Journal of Seismic Exploration. He also co-authored a 2012 graduate textbook for Cambridge University Press with Bob Stolt.
The IMAGE 鈥�22 conference is organized jointly by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
