I've been putting the final touches on a paper with Bernard Bodmann on seismic reflection from a vertical velocity transition zone. The original paper by Alfred Wolf is in 1937 Geophysics. It turns out that for vertical incidence an exact result can be found (Wolf did it), an we were interested in looking at the solution in time-frequency space. Anyway, after much labor the paper is almost done, should be ready by end of the week.
Next up are papers on the dynamic Fresnel zone, a graphical tour of Zoeppritz sensitivity, and maybe a few others. But before that, I will be starting a class this Friday afternoon and continuing Saturday, and so on for 3 weeks (a professional MS course on 3D seismic interpretation). And the regular semester starts Jan 19....

Prof. Christopher L. Liner
Prof. Liner is Associate Dean of Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Arkansas, holds the Maurice F. Storm Chair of Petroleum Geology, served 6 years as UA Geosciences Department Chair, and served as 2014/5 SEG President.
Liner earned a BS in Geology (U. Arkansas, 1978), MS. in Geophysics (U. Tulsa, 1980), and PhD in Geophysics (Colo. School of Mines, Center for Wave Phenomena, 1989). He has 11 years industrial experience in exploration (Conoco) and geophysical research (Western Geo, Fairfield, Saudi Aramco). From 1990-2004 Liner was a faculty member in Geosciences at The University of Tulsa. In January 2008 he joined the faculty of the University of Houston as Professor and Associate Director of the Allied Geophysical Labs industrial consortium. In fall 2011 he was named Department Associate Chair and Interim Chair in spring 2012.
Prof. Liner’s research interests include geothermal power generation, energy transition, petroleum seismic imaging and interpretation, CO2 sequestration, and near surface geophysics. He has served as Editor of Geophysics (1999-2001), authored many technical papers, scientific meeting abstracts, The Leading Edge column Seismos (since 1992), and the text book Elements of 3D Seismology soon in 3rd edition. Liner is a member of SEG, AAPG, AGU, EAGE and the European Academy of Sciences.
