ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
John Scales showed how to use SU effectively in the classroom in his electronic text, Theory
of Seismic Imaging, Samizdat Press, 1994. This text is available from the Samizdat press site
at: samizdat.mines.edu.
John Stockwell’s involvment with SU began in 1989. He is largely responsible for designing
the Makefile structure that makes the package easy to install on the majority of Unix platforms.
He has been the main contact for the project since the first public release of SU in September
of 1992 (Release 17). After Jack Cohen’s death in 1996, Stockwell assumed the role of principal
investigator of the SU project and has remained in this capacity to the present.
The project has also has had extensive technical help from the worldwide SU user community. Among those who should be singled out for mention are Tony Kocurko at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Toralf Foerster of the Baltic Sea Research Institute in Warnemuende
Germany, Stewart A. Levin, John Anderson, and Joe Oravetz at Mobil Oil, Joe Dellinger at
Amoco, Matthew Rutty, Jens Hartmann, Alexander Koek, Michelle Miller of the University of
Southern California at Chico, Berend Scheffers, and Guy Drijkoningen, Delft, Dominique Rousset, Pau and Marc Schaming, Strasbourg, Matt Lamont, Curtin University, Australia, Wenying
Cai at the University of Utah, Brian Macy of Phillips Petroleum, Robert Krueger of Terrasys,
Torsten Shoenfelder of the University of Koeln, Germany, Ian Kay of the Geological Survey
of Canada, Dr. Toshiki Watanabe of the University of Kyoto. Our apologies in advance for
undoubtedly omitting mention of other deserving contributors to SU—we promise to include
you in future updates of this manual!
We especially thank Barbara McLenon for her detailed suggestions on the text and also for
her excellent design of this document, as well as the SU pamphlets, and other materials, which
we distribute at public meetings.
In Memoriam
Dr. Jack K. Cohen passed away in October 1996. The Seismic Unix package exists owing to
his knowledge of seismic processing, his creativity, and his desire to make a lasting contribution
to the scientific community. He will surely be missed by all who had contact with him in the
mathematical, geophysical, and SU-user communities.
