This slide summarizes the points about geology made when discussing 3-D seismic. It seems to me this is particularly relevant to SUU students. For instance, there is an opportunity to establish student branches of professional societies like the AAPG (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) and SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicists) on campus. Contacts are posted below. There are opportunities to work with other Rocky Mountain Universities to do joint projects, to host field camps, to share things being learned, etc. There are free-ware 3-D seismic processing and interpretation packages which can be used to do research projects like are being presented at this Undergraduate Research Symposium. There are 3-D seismic surveys which can be obtained for teaching and student projects. And, of course, understanding 3-D seismic always comes back to understanding geology.
