11 Foreword in several seismic imaging research projects during 1998-1999 and 2003-2004 at the Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP), France. She contributes regularly to peer reviewing, academic committees and is an expertevaluator for the European Commission. Her main research interests are seismicvolcanic risk and seismic imaging applications for the oil industry, the environment and culture heritage. Manuela Mendes is a member of EAGE. Email: d1865mm@gmail.com Hervé Chauris Hervé Chauris graduated in 1996 from the École des Mines de Paris (Paris School of Mines, France), as a civil engineer. After a research master in Geophysics, he attained a PhD in Geophysics from the École des Mines de Paris. He then worked for Shell in Rijswijk, The Netherlands, between 2000 and 2005, within the seismic imaging R&D department. He became an associate professor at MINES ParisTech in 2006, before taking on a full professor position at the same institute in 2011. Hervé completed his accreditation to supervise research in earth sciences (HDR) in 2010, on the theme “seismic imaging from locally coherent events”. His main research interests are related to the development of new algorithms for quantitative seismic imaging. Coherent events refer to the fact that seismic waves have an intrinsic spatial size. He has developed a large number of imaging algorithms in the context of Migration Velocity Analysis, a focusing technique to evaluate the quality of a given velocity model through the consistency between independent seismic images. The main applications have been developed in the context of exploration geophysics and near surface characterization. Since 2006, Hervé Chauris has supervised 12 PhD students, 5 post-docs and 15 masters students. He has published more than 30 articles and is a co-author of 100 conference presentations. He is a member of EAGE, SEG and SIAM, a reviewer for Geophysics among other journals, and is associate editor for Geophysical Journal International and Geophysical Prospecting. He is also responsible for Geosciences education for civil engineer students at MINES ParisTech, and head of the geophysical team within the Geosciences department.
