Dear members,
Our co-edited "Atlas of Structural Geological
Interpretation on Seismic Images” will be published by Wiley
Blackwell. We invite you and your research group to submit four
contributions/entries (four seismic colour images and captions), from any
terrain, in this atlas. You can submit your already published images after
taking due permission.
If you are interested, kindly
express interest
within 29-Sept-2015 at seismicatlas@gmail.com and
submit
contributions within Nov 2015. Please ask for
clarifications if you need so.
Deadlines:
1. Expression of
interest:
29-Sept-2015
2. Submission of images and
captions:
Nov 2015
3. Review comments reach
authors:
Dec 2015
4. Book ms submitted to Wiley Blackwell:
March 2016
5. Book
publication: October
2016
Wiley Blackwell will publish the atlas with all images in
colour. Therefore we are seeking high resolution (300 dpi) colour images from
potential authors. Images need not come from the same terrain,
and may represent different structures. Captions should be wellexplanatory
and utilize up to 500 words. Compulsorily provide us uninterpreted
seismic images as well. Include explanatory sketches/models/maps/3D
views/seismic attribute images/well data etc. to support your
interpretation. It will be good to provide up to 4 references per caption
so that the reader can go back to the key publications and learn more about
that structure and the terrain.
Interpretation could be inherently subjective. To address this important yet
commonly overlooked aspect, we wish to get some of the submitted seismic images
interpreted by another author who is unaware of the terrain. If you agree to
have your seismic image interpreted by another author, please mention that in
the cover letter. There is nothing wrong or right in another interpretation,
and experienced interpreters tend to be very close to reality (Bond et al.
2015, Geol. Soc. Sp. Pub. 421:
dx.doi.org/10.1144/SP421.4). This will be very informative
for the readers and may even provide the contributors with possible alternate
interpretations. We may keep such re-interpretations in a web-based repository
as “Supplementary Material”.
If you have diffraction seismic images as a new imaging technology, we would
encourage to submit those images along with their interpretations. Please
demonstrate how they are better in imaging certain structures.
We intend
to have the following chapters/divisions in the book. However, being an edited
volume, the final chapters will actually depend on the actual contributions
received. We (editors) will write brief introduction for individual chapters. In
case your contribution does not match with the contents that we have set, we
can add up a miscellaneous section to incorporate such images and
contributions.
We
anticipate the book will be of great use in both academics and intustry.
