SEG Dallas 2016 Official Program Sponsored by Sponsored by Geophysical Insights www.geoinsights.com/ SEG Dallas 2016 Official Program

WITH OVER 1,100 PRESENTATIONS, THIS IS THE LARGEST TECHNICAL PROGRAM WE’VE EVER HELD.

More than 1,500 abstracts received for review, this year’s Technical Program includes 140 diverse sessions. Geoscience professionals from all geophysical disciplines and all parts of the world are represented and will share the latest case histories, technological advancements, and research discoveries.

The Technical Program will begin on Monday at 1:00 PM, following the SEG Opening Session and Presidential Address. It will include eight Special Sessions. Oral sessions, poster sessions, and oral discussion/e-presentation sessions will run consecutively through Thursday at noon. Immediately following, post-convention workshops will take place in the technical session area on Thursday afternoon and all day Friday.

Luncheons with guest speakers will be held on Tuesday for Gravity and Magnetics and on Wednesday for Development and Production and Mining and Geothermal. Also, the Near-Surface Section will hold its annual reception on Tuesday evening.

SPECIAL SESSIONAs in previous years, dedicated sessions will be offered to compliment the Technical Program, of which the following have been

scheduled:

• Progress in Applied Geophysics in China – Organizer: Chuck Peng • Recent Advances and the Road Ahead – Organizer: Sergio Chavez-Perez • SEG-AGU Hydrogeophysics – Organizer: John Lane • Surface Waves – Organizer: Julian Ivanov

TECHNICAL PROGRAM RECORDINGSEvery year, SEG compiles video recordings of all Technical Program presentations for which the presenter has authorized his or her

recording; however, this year’s Technical Program presentations will all be streamed online. All you need is an internet connection!

TECHNICAL PROGRAM SPEAKER ORIENTATION BREAKFASTKay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, C3/C4 (Level 2)

Monday-Thursday, 17-20 October, 7:00 AM -7:45 AMNote: Must have authorized speaker ribbon to attend.

All Technical Program speakers for oral, oral discussion/e-presentation, and poster sessions are urged to attend the Speaker Orientation Breakfast on the morning of their presentation. Speakers for postconvention workshops scheduled for Thursday and Friday should attend the Thursday Speaker Orientation Breakfast. Session chairs are also urged to attend the orientation

breakfast on the morning of their assignments.
