Welcome to the Virtual Seismic Atlas.
The Virtual Seismic Atlas is an open access community resource to share the geological interpretation of seismic data. By browsing freely through the site you will find seismic images and interpretations. And you can download higher resolution images for your own use. All without signing in - it's free to browse.
Use the VSA to find images of subsurface structures, submarine landscapes, the structure of oceanic waterbodies and much more.
You can search for analogues, rapidly contrasting geological features, finding areas of controversy. You'll find results from cutting edge technology and breaking research alongside historically important images of the subsurface. The VSA is used by thousands of geoscientists each week.
We also welcome new content. If you wish to post interpretations or new seismic images we can set you up with authoring permission. See the "Call for contributions" below.
