Seismic profiles can be used to help calculate and create
three-dimensional models of the Earth’s layers that are hidden from
view. New advances in other methods such as infrared profiles and
other electromagnetic wave technologies, will allow us one day to
see what the crust looks like.
Stratigraphy has evolved from an observational science into a high
tech search for tools to help us explore what our world looks like. All
these new techniques that we are developing will help us find resources
like oil and metals. This technology can also be used to learn about the
surface of other planets.
