Systems that geologists use to see below the Earth’s crust on dry land don’t work well underwater. The new IsoMetrix marine seismic system, on the other hand, samples data in all directions, so it can capture returning wave fields in 3-D. The system creates images of structures beneath the seafloor, allowing oil companies to see deep reservoirs with unprecedented clarity.

This technology should not be used for oil companies continuing destruction of our ecosystems. There are so many more important research fields that can take advantage of this tech; such as gaining better understanding of composition and the history of the sea floor.
