Seismic exploration methods continue to evolve through advances in acquisition strategies, processing workflows, attribute analysis, seismic inversion, and quantitative interpretation. At the same time, the application of seismic data has expanded well beyond traditional hydrocarbon exploration into fields such as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), geothermal energy, groundwater characterization, active tectonics, and subsurface infrastructure assessment. These developments are creating new opportunities for imaging geological structures across a wide range of scales while also enabling the extraction of increasingly quantitative geological information from seismic datasets through attribute analysis, inversion techniques, and integrated interpretation workflows.

This session aims to bring together geologists, geophysicists, and industry professionals working on methodological developments and innovative applications of 2D and 3D seismic reflection data. We welcome contributions addressing emerging challenges in seismic imaging, interpretation, and subsurface characterization, with applications spanning, basin analysis, CCUS, geothermal systems, reservoir characterization, groundwater studies, and active tectonics.
