• The SEAM mission is to advance the science and
  technology of applied geophysics through a
  cooperative industry effort focused on subsurface
  model construction and generation of
• synthetic data sets for
• geophysical problems
• of importance to the
• resource extraction
• industry. Data sets,
• after an initial two years
• of confidentiality,
• will enter the public
• domain.

13

• The primary goals of SEAM are to
• Design and generate synthetic model 3D and 2D
  seismic data
• Share the high cost effort of substantial model
  design and generation
• Provide a forum to discuss geophysical problems
  of interest
• Advance the art of modeling and computation
• Provide data sets for industry benchmarks and
  educational purposes
