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.

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
