Today began the first applied seismology class at the University of Arkansas in a very long time. Perhaps since the 1980s. Who knows? The name is simply Geophysics, but the scope is an ambitious overview of petroleum seismology concepts and methods, a lead-in to the 3D seismic interpretation course taught in spring. Let the learning begin!
If you like, you can have a look at the syllabus.

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.
