That should be an interesting talk.

I have observed that new graduates and younger geophysicists are more
interested in knowing what button to press in what software than
understanding the fundamentals of geology, physics, geophysics,
mathematics, etc. The most sophisticated software or any AI / ML platform
is useless, when those fundamentals are not understood.

Not long ago, a Geophysics student in his last year of university did not
know what was a magnetic inclination or magnetic latitude. It was also some
years ago that a recent graduate in Geophysics told me that MT was not a EM
technique. He said that "MT is MT, and EM is EM, two different things". I
have more recent examples. You might recall those topics.

I know an Australian Geoscience Prof, now VP at a major company, who
complains about the lack of Philosophy training during university education.
