U.S. Marine Seismic Reflection Acquisition Needs for the Next Decade, 2000

Greg Moore and Tom Shipley

Seismic techniques have provided key data over the past fifty years, allowing geoscientists to better understand Earthıs subsurface physical properties, stratigraphy and structure. Seismic data have also proven crucial for correlat- ing outcrops and boreholes. In the next decade, marine earth scientists are poised to benefit from revolutionary advances in seismic technology. To assess the new technologies and their potential impact on planned major science programs, 50 academic and industry representatives with expertise in marine reflection seismology held a workshop in October 1999. An important subtheme was to explore ways to improve access to technology and data by the broader community of earth scientists. (This is a PDF document).

Fluid Seeps Workshop Report, 1999

Provided by Casey Moore

Because of the importance of fluid seeps in earth sciences a field trip, symposium, and workshop on "Fluid Seeps at Active Continental Margins" at the AAPG Pacific Section Meeting in spring of 1999 were organized. With the background of the field trip and symposium, a workshop outlined critical issues for research on seeps at the earth's surface, on associated biological communities, on the geochemical impact of seeps, and on seeps in the subsurface and in the stratigraphic record. Here is a report of the deliberations of this workshop.
