2013 Elections Board of Directors | Evert Slob Nominee for Editor | | Biography  Evert Slob is professor of geophysical electromagnetic methods at Delft University of Technology and director of the bachelor's and master's programs in applied earth sciences. He received an MSc in mining and petroleum engineering, with a major in applied geophysics (1989), and a PhD with honors in applied sciences (1994), both from Delft University of Technology. He started his career in 1995 as a postdoc, became assistant professor in 2001, associate professor in 2004, and was appointed professor in 2011, all at the Department of Geoscience & Engineering. He worked on ground-penetrating radar imaging and eliminating antenna effects for inversion with applications in landmine and utility classification and in hydrogeophysics. He has worked on electrical soil properties for diffusive and radar applications. His current research interests are electromagnetic interferometry and beyond, advanced imaging and inversion, and electromagnetic and electrokinetic soil characterization. He has coauthored over 100 journal papers. Evert is member of SEG, EAGE, and AGU. He organized ten international workshops and conference sessions and he was guest editor for 11 journal special issues on GPR and Hydrogeophysics. Evert has been a member of SEG since 1991. He has served on the editorial board of Geophysics since 2005 where he started as an Associate Editor for Ground-Penetrating Radar and for Borehole Geophysics and Rock Properties. He was recognized as outstanding Associate Editor in 2007. Evert has been an Assistant Editor since 2009. He was Associate Editor for the special section on Hydrogeophysics-Electric and Electromagnetic Methods, published in Geophysics in 2010. Position Statement Having been on the Geophysics editorial board for almost eight years, first as Associate Editor and now as Assistant Editor, I feel honored to be nominated as SEG Editor. I will use my knowledge and experience to focus on the following objectives for the coming two years: - Maintaining Geophysics' standing as a world-class journal and the prime international scientific journal and archive of applied geophysics at large
- Continuing the efforts of previous SEG Editors to attract papers from a broad range of subjects of applied geophysics written by a broad range of authors around the globe
- Continuing to promote and facilitate special issues and supplements, tutorials and review papers in Geophysics, to endorse diversity in our community, strengthen cohesion between different disciplines, and reach out to a broad readership
- Maintaining the quality cycle of the review process to keep the journal accessible for properly prepared manuscripts going through a timely and high-quality review process as fast as possible
- Promoting open access publishing to increase accessibility to readers
