This section shows a collection of photos of the seismic system donated by WesternGECO L. L. C. to the Department of Geology and Planetary Science at the University of Pittsburgh.   The generous kindness and support of the University of Pittsburgh alumni Mr. John Seitz and Mr. Ron Bain made this donation possible and then a reality.  The help and patience of Jim Swearingen at WesternGeco L.L.C. is gratefully acknowledged.  Support of the Office of the Dean of the University of Pittsburgh was critical to the success of this effort.
