Publications New Three-Society Search Engine SEG has joined with AAPG and SPE to develop LookUpstream, a simultaneous search of the technical libraries of the three societies, covering nearly 100,000 papers. With a single search, you can find papers from all three societies. Links go to the society Web sites where end users may purchase the papers or gain access through their corporate subscription. Related Link: LookUpstream Call for Modeling Papers in Geophysics SEG invites papers for publication in an upcoming special section or issue of Geophysics titled "Seismic Modeling with Applications to Acquisition, Processing, and Interpretation." The objective of the upcoming special section is to elucidate modeling algorithms, methodologies, and their applications in acquisition, processing, interpretation, and visualization of seismic data. Contributions can be based on theories and algorithms (e.g., finite difference, pseudospectral, parallelization strategy), wave-propagation media (e.g., acoustic, elastic, anisotropic, viscoelastic), acquisition geometries (e.g., borehole, VSP, surface, OBC), application types (e.g., hypothesis testing, acquisition design, interpretive processing), or other relevant and related topics. Interested authors should submit their manuscripts for review no later than 31 October 2006. In addition, the special issue/section editors would like to receive a provisional title and list of authors as soon as possible. Authors should submit via the normal online submission system for Geophysics and indicate that it is a contribution for the special section or issue on seismic modeling. Related Link: Geophysics Online Submission Given the tight timeline for publication of this issue, Geophysics is going to strictly enforce author submission guidelines, covered in "Instructions to Authors" published in the January-February 2006 issue and online. Related Link: Instructions to Authors Normal page and color charges will apply. Please note Geophysics page and color charges at the following link. Related Link: Geophysics Page Charges For specific questions, please contact the special issue/section editors Johan Robertsson, J. Bee Bednar, or Joakim Blanch. Geophysics The July–August issue of Geophysics will be accompanied by a special supplement containing 21 papers on seismic interferometry. Editors Kees Wapenaar, Deyan Draganov, and Johan Robertsson were instrumental in compiling these papers by physicists, mathematicians, and geophysicists in this emerging area of important research. Related Link: Geophysics Online The Leading Edge The August issue of The Leading Edge will contain a special section on electromagnetic techniques. It will include some up-to-date information on the exciting new work in controlled-source EM offshore reconnaissance. The September issue previews the upcoming Annual Meeting in New Orleans and includes a special section on Reservoir surveillance.

At the committee's request, the SEG Foundation approved a US$20 000 supplement to its already generous budget. This resulted in the funding of 147 scholarships totaling US$271 450. These SEG scholars are citizens of 24 different countries who are studying in 13 countries. Eighty-four of the 147 recipients (57%) are citizens of countries other than the United States. This figure aligns with SEG's membership, as 59% of SEG's members live outside the United States. Fifty of the 147 scholarship recipients (34%) study in universities outside the United States, more than twice the percentage in 2005-2006. The SEG Scholarship Program is open to graduate and undergraduate students at any recognized university worldwide who are pursuing a degree in applied geophysics or other closely related fields. The 2007-2008 scholarship program is scheduled to open on 1 September 2006. Applications will be available on the SEG Foundation Web site as early as 1 September.
