Title: Relationships Between Geologists and Geophysicists

Author(s): Neal J. Smith (2)

Abstract:

The subject of the relations between geologists and geophysicists is best developed by one who has been on both sides and in the middle. The general feeling is that the scientists within the two disciplines are not mutually appreciative of each other and, therefore, are less effective as an exploration team.

As long as exploration continues to change, fosters the introduction of new methods, and uses men trained in a wide variety of specialties, complete mutual appreciation should not be expected. It will be possible only when the exploration industry is stagnant. Management should take maximum advantage of the situation by vigorous use and continuous training of earth scientists. Both geophysicists and geologists should avoid unreasonable attitudes and statements.
