I welcome you to attend SEG’s International Exposition and 86th Annual Meeting in Dallas. This meeting is the focal point of SEG’s year and provides opportunities to interact with colleagues and develop new friends and contacts. While this has been a tough year for the resource-extraction industries, the challenging times are driving innovation. The SEG Annual Meeting is the place to learn about the latest developments in geophysics and to see new geophysical technologies emerging.

I would like to acknowledge the diligent effort put forth by the Annual Meeting Steering Committee, chaired by Sarah Reed, and the Technical Program Committee (TPC), chaired by Charles Sicking with Co-chair John Ferguson. These important committees maintain the quality and character of our annual meeting. This year, we received more than 1500 abstracts, a near-record number. The TPC and an army of reviewers have worked hard to identify the best papers and weave them into an excellent program you won’t want to miss.

Be sure to also consider attending continuing education courses in the days before the Annual Meeting and the focused workshops after the meeting. Some of the most talented people in our profession will be teaching these courses and presenting their thoughts and guidance. Between these starting and ending events, you will find special-interest luncheons that offer opportunities to become more engaged in a targeted technical area or in a particular world region.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

John Bradford

SEG 2015–2016 President

When people think of Dallas, big hair, big personalities, and even Big Tex may come to mind. It’s true that life seems larger in “Big D.” We have more restaurants per capita than New York City and one of the largest concentrations of Fortune 500 companies in the nation. In this oil-price climate, however, we can probably relate more with the Dallas cowboys. No, I don’t mean the football team. Rather, I’m referring to the rugged ranchers of the American West. Despite hardship and limited resources, these men and women were able to turn adversity into opportunity. At this year’s SEG Annual Meeting in Dallas, you will find the information, inspiration, and connections to do the same.

In addition to the new advances and services showcased on the exhibit floor, the Technical Program will feature over 1,100 presentations in 91 oral sessions, 24 oral discussion/e-Presentation sessions and 25 poster sessions. The topics will traverse the frontiers of our discipline and explore practical applications of familiar concepts. The Post Convention Workshops will

focus on tools to provide value more accurately and efficiently, including “Low cost geophysics: How to be creative in a cost-challenged environment” and “4D Reservoir surveillance in a ‘lower for longer’ world: Getting more for less”. Whether you are preparing for the future or making the best of the present, the SEG Annual Meeting will be an important resource.

Other highlights include a golf tournament at the famous Cowboy Golf Club, a guest program featuring a variety of tours to Dallas attractions, and an exciting Wednesday night party, among other activities. We’ll even explore the geology of Mars as the Applied Science Education Program speaker, Shaunna Morrison, discusses her work with a future generation of potential geoscientists. The SEG staff and local Dallas Geophysical Society look forward to welcoming “y’all” to the SEG International Exposition and 86th Annual Meeting in Dallas on 16–21 October 2016!
