The 8th SEGJ International Symposium
- Imaging and Interpretation -

November 26-28, 2006
Clock Tower Centennial Hall, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

Tutorial Lecture

November 24-25, 2006
Kyodai Kaikan, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

Scope

SEGJ International symposium will be held at Kyoto University in November 2006. More than 150 papers will be presented in this symposium, and most advanced technologies on Geophysical exploration will be presented. The key to successful application of technologies always based on good understanding of fundamental physics, theory and engineering knowledge. The organization committee of the SEGJ International conference strongly hopes young scientists and engineers will develop the technology of Exploration Geophysics in future, and decided to have tutorial courses in conjunction with the SEGJ International Symposium. The topics of the tutorial courses include most of the common geophysical exploration methods, and also up-to-date information on recent technology and new applications.

Courses

All the lectures will be given in English. Most of the courses will introduce the fundamental technology of geophysical exploration, and undergraduate level. However, some new techniques and applications will include graduate level. 10 courses will be given in two parallel programs. Each participant may select any of these courses. Each course will be 1-3 hours. The participants will receive a CD and a printed lecture note, which include the content of all the tutorial courses.

Who should attend?

Young scientists, Engineers who are working in the field of exploration geophysics and related technologies, Graduate students majoring earth science, earth engineering, sensor technology, signal processing, computational physics and any kinds of engineering and sciences are recommended. Fundamental knowledge of mathematics and physics in the undergraduate level is required.
