Seismic Soundoff219: The Secret to Succeeding as a Teacher (Roel Snieder)"The challenge is to really bring your heart into the classroom, show up as a person, show up with care."
Dr. Roel Snieder discusses how to excel as a teacher (and professional) using the Teaching with Heart practices.
In this unique and encouraging episode, we explore the Teaching with Heart project. Roel makes the case for creating a more nurturing and loving educational environment. This episode examines if and how the heart can play a role in mathematics, physics, and geophysics.
Roel challenges the notion that teaching to outcomes is the sole purpose of education, advocating for a balance between...

Seismic Soundoff162: How rocks healRoel Snieder discusses his 2022 SEG-AAPG Distinguished Lecture, "Measuring variations in the seismic velocity as a diagnostic of rock damage and healing."
Interferometric methods in seismology have made it possible to detect time-lapse changes in seismic velocity with an accuracy of about 0.1%. Combined with using noise as a seismic source, it is under the right conditions possible to detect such velocity changes on a near-continuous basis.
In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Roel shows surprisingly that the seismic velocity is not constant at all. It varies with the seasons, temperature, precipitation, and ground shaking. He also discusses how logarithmic healing...

Seismic Soundoff#47: SEG Honors and Awards 2018 - Albert Tarantola and Mrinal SenOne of the most important functions of a professional society is honoring those who have made significant contributions to the profession and to science. In this episode we highlight two of the 2018 Honors and Awards winners: Albert Tarantola and Mrinal Sen.
Albert Tarantola was awarded the 2018 Maurice Ewing Medal, the highest honor given by the SEG to a person who has made distinguished contributions both to the advancement of the science and to the profession of exploration geophysics.
In a first for the Maurice Ewing Medal, Albert Tarantola was awarded the honor posthumously. Roel Snieder speaks with host Andrew Geary...
