3D seismic data are providing geoscientists with a new view of the sub-surface. There is now much greater awareness of the benefits they offer as a result of more data becoming publicly available in recent years. They take us beyond the traditional scale of the outcrop or the two-dimensional cross-section, enabling us to stand back and view the geology in its entirety; small-scale features can be viewed in their proper context almost simultaneously. As the editors of this volume point out in their introductory paper this new-found access to the intricacies of the subsurface should be being used to challenge and redefine existing paradigms.

3D Seismic Technology: Application to the Exploration of Sedimentary Basins was published in 2004 and arose from a conference held in 2001. It is very well produced by the Geological Society of London as one of their series . . . [Full Text of this Article]
