The online platform that hosts Geophysics and The Leading Edge officially will have a new name—Scitation—starting in January. The American Institute of Physics, which operates the platform, is giving the Online Journal Publishing Service a new name that reflects its leadership in linking initiatives. Geophysics and The Leading Edge articles are indexed in several major physical science databases and linking initiatives that operate on AIP's platform, expanding interdisciplinary research opportunities for applied geophysicists. Several new features that enable further personalization of the service are accompanying the rollout of Scitation. All SEG members will enjoy online publications benefits beginning in January. To learn more, please visit Scitation's Web sites below. Upcoming in TLE
The December issue of The Leading Edge contains a special section on multicomponent seismology. This will be the third special section on this subject since 1999, an indication that this area, particularly the processing and interpretation of converted waves, might be about to emerge as a mainstream technology. The January issue special section will be devoted to new developments in the Gulf of Mexico, and the February issue will contain written versions of the presentations at TLE Forum IV, which attracted an estimated audience of 1,100 at the recent SEG Annual Meeting in Dallas.

The SEG Foundation is accepting project proposals for 2004. Proposals received by January 1, 2004, will be considered. In general, proposals should address issues or problems related to the Foundation's mission in support of SEG's objectives: - The mission of the SEG Foundation is to encourage and support scientific, educational, and charitable activities of benefit to the general public, to geophysicists, and to the geophysical corporate community. Its mission is supported by contributions, and it is from those contributions that the Foundation is able to support a limited number of projects to further its stated mission.
-
- In accomplishing its mission, the Foundation aids, encourages, supports, and furthers the dissemination to and understanding by the general public of scientific information in the field of geophysics and related sciences; provides scholarships to deserving students in the field of geophysics and related sciences; and aids educators in the field of geophysics and related sciences.
If you or your group or organization has a project in line with the stated mission of the SEG Foundation, you should submit it for consideration by the SEG Foundation Board of Directors to Phyllis Connor, Director, SEG Foundation, P.O. Box 702740, Tulsa, Oklahoma, or by email to pconnor@seg.org. Please see the Foundation Web site below for a proposal form and additional information on how to prepare and submit a proposal.

2004 Distinguished Instructor Short Course
Petroleum Systems of Deep-Water Settings by Dr. Paul Weimer This course provides geophysicists with a broad overview of the petroleum systems of deep-water settings. The course design allows geophysicists to integrate the information into their daily work flow quickly. The material presented is approximately the 80-85th percentile of available information. Lectures will be complemented by extensive references to key publications that geophysicists may use to follow up. This course emphasizes the geologic aspects of deep-water deposits. The schedule will be posted on the DISC Web page as soon as it is finalized. 2004 Spring Distinguished Lecture
Earth Model Complexity and Risk Description in Resource Exploration and Development by William L. Abriel. The schedule will be posted on the Distinguished Lecture Program Web page as soon as it is finalized. | | Meetings | | 2004 Development and Production Forum
