Related Link: Member-Get-a-Member Program 2007 Publications Geophysics The March-April issue of Geophysics contains a special section comprised of 10 papers on marine controlled-source electromagnetic methods (Marine CSEM). Section editors Mike Tompkins and Len Srnka expect these methods to have more widespread use in the future and hope this special section will facilitate further research and development on the topic. The Leading Edge The March issue of TLE also contains a special section on CSEM, one of the hottest topics in exploration geophysics in recent years. The April issue will have a special section on wide-azimuth seismic acquisition and a preview of presentations at the Offshore Technology Conference 30 April–3 May in Houston. Professional Development Regional Lecturer The new Regional Lecturer program has launched with talks in India and China by Steve Chang. Chang has been speaking on borehole geophysics in the South and East Asia region. Shiv Dasgupta will begin his tour of Africa and the Middle East later this year. Both talks are scheduled for presentation at the SEG Annual Meeting in San Antonio. Lecture abstracts and schedules are posted on the SEG Professional Development site as soon as they are available.
