This repository provides links, metadata, and other useful information regarding the seismic survey datasets that were introduced in the NeurIPS 2021 ML4PS Workshop paper titled "A Multi-Survey Dataset and Benchmark for First Break Picking in Hard Rock Seismic Exploration". Additional information may be added later following other publications using this data.
Before downloading any data, make sure you read and understand the licensing terms below.
Mila and Natural Resources Canada have obtained licences from Glencore Canada Corporation and Trevali Mining Corporation to distribute field seismic data from the Brunswick 3D and Halfmile Lake 3D seismic surveys, respectively, under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). These datasets are in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF5) and have first arrival labels included in trace headers.
The Lalor 3D and Sudbury 3D seismic data are distributed under the Open Government Licence – Canada. Canada grants to the licensee a non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free right and licence to exercise all intellectual property rights in the data. This includes the right to use, incorporate, sublicense (with further right of sublicensing), modify, improve, further develop, and distribute the Data; and to manufacture or distribute derivative products.
The formatting of these datasets is similar to the other two.

We demonstrate how to parse and display the data in this notebook.
The cross-validation folds used in the NeurIPS 2021 ML4PS workshop paper are as follow:
Fold Sudbury: Train: Halfmile, Lalor; Valid: Brunswick; Test: Sudbury
Fold Brunswick: Train: Sudbury, Halfmile; Valid: Lalor; Test: Brunswick
Fold Halfmile: Train: Lalor, Brunswick; Valid: Sudbury; Test: Halfmile
Fold Lalor: Train: Brunswick, Sudbury; Valid: Halfmile; Test: Lalor
We thanks Glencore Canada Corporation and Trevali Mining Corporation for providing access and allowing us to include and distribute the Brunswick 3D and Halfmile 3D seismic data as part of this benchmark dataset. We also thank E. Adam, S. Cheraghi, and A. Malehmir for providing first breaks for the Brunswick, Halfmile, and Sudbury data.
