You might look at recent conference talks in www.seg.org and
www.agu.org,
then affiliations. Non-seismic geophysics faculty are pretty rare in
the US due to the
collapse of the US mining industry since the 1970s. New EM methods
were
"hot" at the SEG meeting this month: (1) marine EM is now feasible and
(2) Exxon released the details of its decades-long electroseismic R&D
work.
Applied seismic work is become pretty rare too with only about seven US
colleges left producing graduates in that area. Perhaps higher
petroleum
prices might stop the decline. New B.S. graduates are getting $80K
offers
and new graduate degrees over $100K this year.
