Joint Seismic Program

The Joint Seismic Program is a collaborative effort involving multiple organizations, typically government agencies and research institutions, to study Earth's subsurface using seismic techniques. It involves generating and analyzing seismic waves—like sound waves—created by controlled sources or natural events to map structures beneath the Earth's surface. This helps scientists understand geological formations, monitor natural hazards, and explore resources such as minerals and oil. By working together, participants share data and resources, leading to more comprehensive and accurate subsurface imaging, which benefits scientific knowledge, safety, and resource management.
