Geophysics at the U of S
Don Gendzwill
We have a new building which the department has occupied since 1986. The old geophysics “shack” is only a memory. For recent graduates, this is old news, but some of the older alumni may not have seen the new building. It is very nice, occupying a space on the edge…

Geophysics: The Potential and Limits for Reservoir Description and Monitoring
Robert J. (Bob) Graebner
Use of geophysics, particularly 3D seismic surface measurements, as an essential element for reservoir description has come into prominence in the last decade. This use has been driven by the shift from exploration to exploitation in many parts of the world. This occurrence is particularly widespread in the United States…

... Interpretation of Mode Converted (P-SV) Shear Wave Data
John Boyd
An in-line (SY) shear wave is recorded when a conventional source is recorded on three component geophones. A cross-line (SH) shear wave may also be recorded if anisotropy rotates any of the shear wave data out of the recording plane.
... Bringing Remote Sensing Down to Earth: A Decision Tree for Hydrocarbon Exploration Applications of Remote Sensing
Fons Dekker
