SEG Honors & Award Committee Recognized Dr. Arthur Weglein for Reginald Fessenden MedalSociety of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Honors and Awards Committee and Executive Committee recognised Dr. Arthur B Weglein for PrestigiousReginald Fessenden Award. Official Recognition of SEG Honor took place during SEGs 2010 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado USA, October 17-21. The Reginald Fessenden Medal is awarded for a specific technical contribution to exploration geophysics, such as an invention or a theoretical or conceptual advancement.Dr. Arthur Weglein is honored with Reginald Fessenden Medal for his influence on the seismic industry through his work in inverse scattering.Dr. Weglein and his team have published widely on this topic and the result is seen in the thinking and practice in the industry, particularly in the area of treatment of multiple reflections.The Fessenden award was first given in 1961, which was known as the SEG Medal Award and was changed in 1977 to recognize the role of Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden as the originator of the concept of reflection and refraction surveying in 1917.Arthur Weglein received his PHD in Physics from the University of Newyork in 1975. He entered seismic petroleum research at Cities Service Oil Company Research Laboratory in Tulsa (1978-81) and Sohio Petroleum Company Research Laboratory in Dallas (1981-85). Mission-Oriented Seismic Research Program- M-OSRP was started by Professor of Physics and Earth & Atmosphere Dr. Arthur Weglein at University of Houston to address pressing high priority seismic exploration and production problems. The aim is to address highest prioritized problems whose solutions would produce the biggest positive step-change in the ability to locate and produce hydrocarbons. M-OSRP program is designed to meet the highest standards and aligned interests of university education and research, seismology, and the petroleum industry.M-OSRP at the University of Houston is pictured with IBMs Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) system. The Cell/B.E. employs computer technology originally co-designed by IBM for video-game consoles, and UH seismic researchers are employing this extremely fast technology to more effectively target oil reserves. Arthur B. Weglein holds the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished University Chair in Physics, with a joint professorship in the Department of Physics and the Department of Geosciences in 2002.
