Abstract
Submission: May 12, 2006

The
Society of Exploration Geophysicists of Japan (SEGJ) announces a Call
for Papers for the 8th SEGJ International Symposium on Imaging and
Interpretation technologies, which will be held at Kyoto
University Clock Tower Centennial Hall, Kyoto, Japan on November
26-28, 2006. The symposium will be co-sponsored by the Korean
Society of Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG), the Australian Society
of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG), the Society of Exploration
Geophysicists (SEG), European Association of Geoscientists and
Engineers (EAGE), and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical
Society (EEGS).
The
symposium will focus on Imaging and Interpretation technologies
that contribute to Interdisciplinary Integration of Geosciences
for better understanding and modeling of invisible underground
structures and processes. Geophysical imaging technologies, such as
seismic methods, electrical and electromagnetic methods, ground
penetrating radar, gravity and magnetics, play an important role in
various occasions of the human activities, such as natural resource
exploration, civil engineering, environmental applications, and
natural hazard mitigation, depending on their objectives. Theoretical
development in geophysical methods, laboratory measurements, various
data processing schemes, modeling and inverse theories help to
understand geoscientific processes in invisible underground.
Geophysical data management and integrated geophysical technologies
are recognized as indispensable tools for deepening understanding of
structures and focusing into survey objectives. Interpretation
technologies, frontier applications, and case histories are also all
acclaimed areas for natural resources exploitations, environmental
studies, geotechnical and near surface engineering, underearth
exploitation, mitigation of geohazards, understanding of regional to
global earth processes, and interdisciplinary geoscientific
applications. All papers related to the above categories will be
encouraged for submissions to this symposium.
Examples
of planned sessions are:
Sensors and Acquisition Technologies
Seismic/EM/GPR/Geodetic Imaging Technologies
Data Processing/Signal Processing
Laboratory/Scaled Geophysics
Multi-scale Imaging/Interpretation Methodologies
Spatial/Time-lapse Data Management
Reservoir Characterization
Shallow/Near -surface Structural Applications
Regional/Global Structural Applications
Disaster Mitigation Applications
Imaging/Interpretation Frontiers
Abstracts
in 300-400 words in English should be submitted to the Organizing
Committee via website (http://www.segj.org/is8/). Please include the
title of the paper, author(s), affiliation(s), and corresponding
author's mailing address, fax number and e-mail address. Also,
please specify your intended sessions and choice of either oral or
poster. Those who do not have any Internet access are suggested to
contact the SEGJ office for alternative submission means.
All
corresponding authors are requested to submit a full paper for the
proceedings in the specific format after receiving notice of
acceptance for oral or poster presentation. Your full paper will be
reviewed by the committee for the final acceptance. The proceedings
will be handed to all participants at the symposium. Final
submissions would be accepted electronically either in Microsoft
Word or in Portable Document Format via website
(http://www.segj.org/is8/). Those who are not able to submit their
documents in these formats via web are also suggested to contact the
SEGJ office for alternative formats or submission means.

The organization committee would like to encourage young researchers
coming from overseas to participate in this symposium. For this
purpose, a young researchers' paper competition will be conducted in
advance to the due date of the full paper submissions and the
winners will be granted a small amount of travel support.
Participants whose ages are under or equal to 35 may submit an
application to this support program at the time of their abstract
submissions for inscription to the competition. The number of
winners will be less than or equal to three. The detailed procedure
for this competition will be announced later.
