For 2021, the Technical Program will contain a mix of onsite and virtual presentations, consisting of oral and web based poster formats, workshops and short courses.
The Technical Program Committee cordially invites geophysicists and members of the geoscience community to submit expanded abstracts for presentation in the 17 th International Congress of the Brazilian Geophysical Society to one of the topics indicated below:
Focused on providing the basis for a quantitative interpretation, AVO, Rock Physics, and Petrophysics techniques aim to deliver, within integrated workflows via upscaling processes, the link between elastic and rock properties such as porosity, mineralogy, pore shape, fractures, and stresses. Lateral variations of statics and dynamics properties play an important role in complex reservoirs modeling. Being spatially predictive using Seismic Inversion results calibrated by Rock Physics and Petrophysics analyses are key factors in the geological and geomechanical model building process. In exploration prospects, AVO studies are widely used. Theoretical and applied results developed by Industry and Academia are welcome and can include, but not limited to, the following methods:
The proposed roundtable is: Multi-Scale Modelling of Seismic and Mechanical Properties.
The topic of Data Acquisition covers a broad range of geophysical techniques. Their focus is to recover as much information from the subsurface as possible, in an affordable and, most importantly, sustainable way. Sessions in this topic will cover many aspects of acquisition, including:
The proposed roundtable is: Seismic Acquisition in Highly Obstructed Areas: Benefiting from Installed Production Facilities.
Processing of geophysical data, which is closely related to digital signal analysis, aims to treat data acquired in the field through seismic, gravimetry, electromagnetic, radar and other techniques. Data processing can be used to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), address interfering signals, gather and analyze statistical information, and even infer missing data, among many other uses. Presentations in this topic are welcomed, with suggested focus in the following themes:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
This section is dedicated to processing and geological interpretation of geophysical data, in multiple scales, which demonstrate the contribution of geophysics to the understanding of subsurface geological scenarios. It involves qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis of geophysical data from the various geophysical methods and geological integration. Some topics are suggested below:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
The technical session on Geophysical Engineering covers a wide range of Engineering applications where geophysical data and methods play a major role, encompassing but not limited to Geotechnical, Petroleum, Environmental, and Mining. The main topics expected to be presented and discussed in this session involve:
The proposed roundtable is: Reservoir Monitoring: Bridging the Gap from Geophysical to Engineering Subsurface models updating.

Geophysics has always been a very multidisciplinary field, and computers have been a part of this science for many years. Recent advances have made this relationship much closer, with Geophysical applications ranked among the top HPC users in the world. The technical session Machine Learning, Digital Transformation & HPC will focus on how these topics can enable geoscientists to combine data-driven and physical-based modeling in complex environments and with fast, high-quality decisions. We invite presenters in the following and related topics:
The proposed roundtable is: Working and Teaching remotely: Digital Transformation in Geophysics.
This technical session is dedicated to the use of near-surface geophysical methods applied to mineral exploration, groundwater investigation and environmental characterization. It involves a broad range of activities commonly, but not exclusively, related to the sub-fields of Exploration Geophysics, Environmental Geophysics, Archaeo-Geophysics, Hydro-Geophysics, Glacio-Geophysics, Marine-Geophysics and Hydrography, including different topics such as:
The proposed roundtable is: Project Seabed 2030: improving the global ocean floor’s bathymetry resolution.
The ability to construct complex geological models and generate synthetic data is paramount in Geophysics. Model Building is an important tool for survey design, imaging, interpretation, fluid flow simulations and many other applications. This is an integrated field, where the expertise and knowledge of geoscientists play equal roles to complex data inversion algorithms. We invite authors of this very multidisciplinary area to contribute with works related to:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
The Multiphysics session brings together contributions from different geophysical methods covering methodological and applied content to different sectors of Academia and Industry. Currently, the challenges to understand the geological evolutionary processes added to the difficulty of imaging emphasize the importance of combining different geophysical methods, adding reliability and reducing ambiguities in the interpretation. The contribution of these methods to mining, oil & gas, environmental and solid Earth are widely known to the scientific community. We invite presenters to share your experiences regarding the Geophysical Methods listed below:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
Geoscientists use Remote Sensing to register and understand the Earth’s geophysical processes. From proximal to orbital technologies, Remote Sensing can be used for geophysical, geological and geothermal energy exploration, and evaluation for environmental geology and geotechnical engineering, among other fields. We invite the community to contribute to this session, suggesting the following themes:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
Space Geophysics investigates the physical phenomena that occur in the Sun, in nearby space, on Earth and other planets. We invite the community to contribute to this session suggesting the following themes:
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
The Technical Session Reservoir Geophysics comprises technical discussions and oral and poster presentations from a broad set of disciplines, technologies and methodologies, involving a full range of industries, state and private companies' professionals as well as academia researchers, and involving areas such as:
The proposed roundtable is: Unlocking Diagenesis, Karsts and Fractured Reservoirs with MAZ Data.
The goal of Seismic Imaging methods is to produce an accurate, high resolution (broadband) image of the subsurface from seismic data. Usually, the accuracy of such methods is evaluated from a structural (kinematic) standpoint, but novel techniques such as Least Squares Migration aim to be dynamically accurate as well. Such novel approaches, together with current challenges pertaining to complex geological settings and deeper imaging targets, have kept this field current in both Industry and Academia. Oral and poster sessions in this topic will focus on novel and well-known approaches in this field, including but not limited to:
The proposed roundtable is: Least Squares Imaging in High Contrast Environments: Salt, Carbonates and Basalts.
This topic covers a broad range of disciplines that address the quantitative analysis of the structure, dynamics ane evolution of the Earth including continental/oceanic crust and lithosphere. We encourage oral and poster contributions in all topics listed below but not restricted to them.
We also welcome proposals for Symposiums and Workshops in this topic.
The proposed roundtable is: Main Open Problems in Solid Earth Geophysics.
