The Earth CT initiative has been discussed during the International Symposium, DEEP-2018, DEEP-2021 and DEEP 2024.
The following approach has been supported by several societies, academic institutions and research facilities specializing in contourites, as well as proposed by Shuwen Dong, Larry Brown, Hans Thybo and many worldwide leading scientists：(1) To construct global “Big Cross” of the lithosphere by integration of intercontinental and regional geoscience transects based on reflection profiles. (2) Lithosphere geotransect and geosciences corridor in Critical Zones. (3) Global Array of BBS.
