Welcome to the latest installment of Geophysics Bright Spots. For most of us, the pandemic has upended our daily routines. Personally, a minor silver lining in all of this chaos has been the gain of a few extra hours every week. I have used this time to catch up on the fascinating work being done in the field of artificial intelligence and its applications to numerous disciplines. An emerging trend is physics-informed machine learning, which will help us bridge the gap between traditional theoretical approaches and more recent data-driven methodologies, leading to physically plausible and meaningful results. To follow is a list of research that the editors found interesting in the latest issue of Geophysics. I sincerely hope these articles enlighten you and take your mind off some of the chaos surrounding us.

Welcome to a new collection of Geophysics Bright Spots. Below is a list of research that the editors found interesting in the latest issue of Geophysics. Although there are only two recommendations, there are more articles in the issue that present wonderful ideas and analysis. For example, one article that I found to be a great read is “Imaging of a fluid injection process using geophysical data — A didactic example” by Commer et al. in which the authors present an approach to image hydrologic properties that determine subsurface changes resulting from fluid injection. If that topic, or either of the topics presented in the following, pique your interest, please read the full Geophysics article.

Welcome to a new collection of Geophysics Bright Spots. I remember reading the first Bright Spots column as a student at Colorado School of Mines. Steve Hill, who conceived the wonderful idea of initiating this column, was my instructor there for a course on seismic data processing. He is a brilliant teacher — always challenging his students to think outside the box and ever open to discussions and debates. Through this column, he exposed readers to cutting-edge research in the field of geophysics while providing a new and important platform for authors to reach industry practitioners. Below is a list of research the editors found interesting in the latest issue of Geophysics. If any of them pique your interest, please read the full Geophysics article. Maybe a light bulb will go off in your head for a new method or algorithm.

This is my last time coordinating the Bright Spots column. The new coordinator will be Jyoti Behura. This has been an enriching assignment. I had the opportunity to read many interesting papers covering the breadth of geophysics research. The papers were nominated by the assistant editors of Geophysics. They do the hard work by shepherding submissions through the review process and nominating a select number to be highlighted.

Bright Spots first appeared in the February 2005 issue of TLE. It was coordinated by Stephen Hill. Over the years, coordinators also included Christopher Liner, Ken Mahrer, Yonghe Sun, and John Stockwell. Hill laid out the goal of Bright Spots in his inaugural column: “My goal is to share the excitement of the breadth of our profession and to tempt you to increase your reading of GEophysics, not to replace it. Thus, these are excerpts of articles, teasers, if you will.” I have tried to adhere to that challenging goal by producing teasers that capture the paper's interest instead of reiterating a summary. This way of writing is not taught in school, and originally, I drafted the excerpts myself. Later, I involved authors and wish I had more time to involve them more often. In the future, I hope to address this type of communication in a separate TLE article. Please check out the interesting papers below.

The two-year term for editors of Geophysics will end in August. Our present editor-in-chief, Valentina Socco, will step down and be replaced by Jeff Shragge. Valentina has done a fantastic job. Under her leadership, Geophysics achieved an impact factor for 2018 of 2.793 — the highest impact factor in the history of the journal. Valentina tried to read every paper to ensure a consistent standard of high quality, and she headed up a team of dedicated assistant and associate editors. In addition to stewarding the submitted papers through the review process, these editors nominated a few papers to be highlighted in this column. Check out this select group below.
