José M. Carcione was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He received the degree “Licenciado in Ciencias Físicas” from Buenos Aires University in 1978, the degree “Dottore in Fisica” from Milan University in 1984, and the Ph.D in Geophysics from Tel-Aviv University in 1987. From 1978 to 1980 he worked at the “Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica” at Buenos Aires. From 1981 to 1987 he was employed as a research geophysicist at “Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales”, the national oil company of Argentina. Presently, he is associated with Hohai University, Nanjing, China (School of Earth Sciences and Engineering) and the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS), Trieste, Italy. He was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt scholarship for a post-doc at Hamburg University, where he stayed from 1987 to 1989. In 2007, he received the Anstey award at the EAGE in London and the 2017 EAGE Conrad Schlumberger award in Paris. Carcione published more than 420 journal articles on acoustic and electromagnetic numerical modeling, with applications to oil exploration and environmental geophysics. He is the author of the book Wave fields in Real Media – Theory and numerical simulation of wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic, porous and electromagnetic media (Pergamon Press, 2001; Elsevier Science, 2007, 2014, 2022) and co-author of Arqueo-geofísica: Una metodología interdisciplinaria para explorar el pasado, (Fundación de Historia Natural, 2006) and Seismic exploration of hydrocarbons in heterogeneous reservoirs: New theories, methods and applications (Elsevier Science, 2015). Carcione has been a member of the commission (GEV04) for evaluation of Italian research in the field of Earth Sciences (ANVUR) in the periods 2004-2010 and 2011-2014.
Carcione has coordinated many projects funded by the EU and private companies and has organized two geophysical antarctic campaigns with the research vessels OGS/Explora (Italy) and Puerto-Deseado (Argentina), when he was department chair of geophysics in 1996–2000.

Physics and simulation of waves for exploration and environmental geosciences
Use of wave modeling and inversion for the interpretation of the characteristics of rocks and geologic formations requires the understanding of the relationship between the seismic attributes and the rock properties. In particular, in the exploration of oil and gas reservoirs, it is important to predict the porosity, the presence of fluids (type and saturation), the preferential directions of fluid flow (anisotropy), the presence of abnormal pore pressures (overpressure), etc. These microstructural properties and the in-situ rock conditions can be obtained, in principle, from the seismic attributes, using realistic constitutive equations.
This lecture briefly outlines the physics and simulation of wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic, and porous media, including the analogy between acoustic waves (in the general sense) and electromagnetic waves. Most of the numerical techniques have been recently developed; for instance, the solution of the poro-viscoelastic wave equation for reservoir seismics, and the domain-decomposition methods for wave propagation at the ocean bottom.
The applications include evaluation of methane hydrate content, upscaling techniques, detection of overpressure, propagation in permafrost, exploration of the Earth's deep crust, time-lapse sesimics for monitoring of CO2 sequestration, borehole stability, the mesoscopic loss mechanism in rocks, geo-radar applications, and low-frequency electromagnetic prospecting in the Earth. The emphasis is on geophysical applications for seismic exploration, but researchers in the fields of earthquake seismology, rock physics, and material science — including many branches of acoustics of fluids and solids (acoustics of materials, nondestructive testing, etc.) — may also find the presentation useful.
