SEG SmartBrief
THE LEADING EDGE – OUR MISSIONBuilding on SEG’s mission of advancing applied geophysics, The Leading Edge (TLE ) covers all aspects of applied geophysics in a style appealing to a broad readership. TLE is a gateway publication, introducing new geophysical theory, instrumentation, and established practices to scientists in a wide range of geoscience disciplines. TLE ’s peer-reviewed technical content is presented in a manner that minimizes mathematical theory and emphasizes practical applications. TLE, published monthly, also serves as SEG’s publication venue for official Society business and announcements to membership.
TLE READER PROFILE (TLE READERSHIP SURVEY, 07/2019)• 64% of TLE readers are involved in the initiation, recommendation, specification, approval, or purchase of
geoscience-related products and services.• 57% of readers have reported taking one or more actions (such as visiting a website) as a result of advertisements
or articles in TLE.• 25% of readers report reading through TLE as much for the advertising as for the articles.
EDITORIAL CONTENTTLE ’s regular features include departments with periodic articles on key technological aspects of geophysics. Material for each of these departments is selected and approved by a geophysicist working in the field.
• Acquisition/Processing focuses on the latest developments in what many consider the “hard” science part of geophysics.• Interpreter’s Corner is a major focus of TLE because SEG surveys indicate that about 50 percent of members consider interpretation of geophysical data as their primary
duty. These articles emphasize seismology but are not limited to that technique.• The Meter Reader is designed to update SEG members on the latest developments in potential-field geophysics.
Some features in TLE cover areas other than technology that are likely to impact SEG members. These articles have varied authorship.• Interpreter Sam chronicles the everyday misadventures of the everyman of interpretation.• President’s Page informs members of the SEG Board’s actions in such important areas as business-office procedures, developing new or improved membership benefits,
and cooperative projects with sister societies.• Geophysics Bright Spots summarizes upcoming articles in Geophysics.• Full Spectrum is a regular feature exploring issues within SEG and geophysics related to diversity.• Near Surface Views & News collects news, interviews, and conference and workshop reviews of interest to SEG’s near-surface geophysics community.• Seismic Soundoff presents excerpts from recent episodes of SEG’s applied geophysics–focused podcast.

INTERPRETATION & Geophysics RATES:INTERPRETATION (quarterly)Interpretation launched in 2013 to advance the practice of subsurface interpretation. Copublished quarterly by SEG and AAPG, Interpretation includes special sections in each issue focused on specific topics of interest to interpreters. This peer-reviewed journal is a dedicated forum for subsurface-interpretation geoscientists and appeals to members of both organizations and interpreters working in related disciplines.
Geophysics (bimonthly)Geophysics, published by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists since 1936, is an archival journal encompassing all aspects of research, exploration, and education in applied geophysics. Geophysics provides theoretical and mathematical tools needed to reproduce depicted work, encouraging further development and research.
