Seismic Soundoff: The tools, people, and moments that built a geophysics career

In episode 281 of SEG’s Seismic Soundoff podcast, Betty Johnson shares how her early career in gravity and magnetics grew from curiosity, hands-on learning, and rapidly changing technology. She explains how potential field methods remain valuable for addressing energy, water, and climate challenges because they are affordable, scalable, and deeply rooted in the earth’s history.
