The Journal of Seismic Exploration aims to accelerate the development of smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable seismic solutions for energy, mineral, engineering, fluid, environmental, and planetary exploration.

The journal covers the full spectrum of seismic exploration, embracing both active- and passive-source methodologies across onshore, marine, borehole, and near-surface environments. Application domains include petroleum geology, reservoir characterization, unconventional resource assessment, geothermal exploration, coal and mineral prospecting, fluid investigations, engineering and environmental studies, as well as carbon storage monitoring and hazard assessment. The journal also encourages interdisciplinary studies of seismic exploration and other disciplines, such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, rock physics, geomechanics, and planetary sciences.
