focus of new SEG president has Arctic application
Having
moved from seismic exploration into other areas of geophysical research, the
new president of the Society of Exploration Geophysics still helps to find oil.
But the oil John H. Bradford detects now isn't deep in the earth. It's oil
released by accident in frozen seas and trapped beneath ice-a possibility for
which the oil and gas industry must be prepared as exploration and development
expand in the Arctic. Bradford, a professor in the Department of Geosciences at
Boise State University, describes his primary research interest as
"quantitative analysis of wave propagation based geophysical data,
specifically seismic reflection and ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
