Images: A look beneath the Earth

A 3D geophysical model of the subsurface of the Earth shows an industry record-breaking 400GB of data in a single interactive view. Energy company geoscientists analyze images such as these to search for oil and gas. This technology is being adapted to the battlefield to enable troops to peek underground and make first-level determinations if there may be a shallow buried threat to their operations or large munitions storages hidden from view.
