"The MTArray is changing how we explore for minerals and critical resources, and it’s paving the way for sustainable energy development." In this episode of Seismic Soundoff, host Andrew Geary speaks with Adam Schultz about completing the U.S. Magnetotelluric (MT) Array after 18 years. This groundbreaking project has mapped the electrical properties of the Earth’s crust across the contiguous United States. Adam explains how this geophysical method has evolved from pure science into a critical tool for protecting national infrastructure and identifying valuable resources. He shares insights into the unexpected challenges and major discoveries made while offering a bold call to action for the geophysics community to think bigger and push the boundaries of exploration. Listen to learn how the MTArray is shaping the future of geophysics and infrastructure resilience. KEY POINTS AND TAKEAWAYS > The USMTArray's Evolution: Originally part of the EarthScope program, the MTArray project became crucial for understanding power grid and national infrastructure risks, especially from space weather events. > Critical Infrastructure Protection: Data from the MTArray has helped power grid operators mitigate risks from geomagnetically induced currents, potentially preventing large-scale outages during extreme solar storms. > East Coast Vulnerabilities: The discovery of a sharp transition in the Earth's crust along the eastern U.S. revealed hidden vulnerabilities to geomagnetic storms, challenging previous assumptions about regional risk. > Surprising Challenges and Successes: The MTArray faced unexpected difficulties, especially in challenging environments like the Gulf Coast, but also saw breakthrough moments, including stunning data collected during a major solar storm. > A Call for Bold Exploration: Adam urges geophysicists to think bigger, use larger arrays, and embrace time-varying, 4D imaging to advance the field and apply geophysical techniques to real-world problems like sustainable energy development and critical mineral exploration.

"The Zohr discovery is an interesting one because all of a sudden it makes everybody sort of scratch their head and go like, 'So what have we missed elsewhere?'" Dr. Walter Rietveld discusses September's The Leading Edge, which focuses on the Eastern Mediterranean. In this episode: > Discover the challenges and opportunities in the Eastern Mediterranean's oil and gas exploration, a region attracting significant industry interest due to recent discoveries and proximity to major markets. > Explore the complexities of the Messenian interval, a geographically variable layer that creates significant hurdles for seismic imaging. > Learn how innovative technologies like multi-azimuth seismic and ocean bottom node (OBN) acquisition and advanced processing techniques like full waveform inversion (FWI) are being used to overcome these imaging challenges. > Examine the success story of the Atoll field, where OBN acquisition and advanced imaging led to significant improvements in seismic data quality, enabling better reservoir characterization and well planning. > Understand the shift in exploration focus from post-Messenian to deeper pre-Messenian plays, driven by factors like the depletion of shallower targets and the potential of deeper channel systems as reservoirs. This interview focuses on the challenges and technological advancements in Eastern Mediterranean oil and gas exploration. Walter discusses how innovations such as multi-azimuth seismic, ocean bottom node acquisition, and full waveform inversion improve subsurface imaging, particularly in geologically complex areas like the Messenian interval. He highlights the success of these technologies in the Atoll field. He suggests that similar techniques, successfully employed in other regions like the Gulf of Mexico, hold promise for maximizing the value of existing data in the Eastern Mediterranean. Walter encourages listeners to explore the special section on the Eastern Mediterranean in The Leading Edge to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and solutions discussed.
