The feature-length documentary Reflections in the Field: Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the SEG has been honored as the Outstanding Electronic Publication for 2005–2006 by the Association of Earth Science Editors. Reflections in the Field chronicles the evolution of applied geophysics from its early days in the fields of Europe and the United States to its technologically diverse worldwide practice today. This documentary also tells the story of how SEG has fostered geophysical theory, application, education, and professionalism for more than 75 years. Interviews with some of the world's leading geophysicists and industry observers serve as cornerstones in this record of astounding accomplishment. Related Link: Reflections in the Field
