Seismic Soundoff

Aria Abubakar and Wenyi Hu, co-chair and vice-chair of the IMAGE Technical Program Committee, respectively, discuss the reasons for attending IMAGE '23. The third annual International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy (IMAGE) will bring geoscientists from around the world from 28 August to 1 September at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. IMAGE is the largest technical program in the event's history. IMAGE will have 168 oral and 110 poster sessions over three full days, totaling 1108 oral and poster presentations. There will be 30 topics, including nine geology focus topics, 11 geophysics topics, and ten integrated topics. IMAGE will also have 20 special oral sessions comprising 15 geology and geophysics topics not covered by the regular technical sessions. In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Aria and Wenyi help attendees navigate the large technical program, provide a sneak preview of the top topics, and offer tips to make the most of your attendance.
