Abstract
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) was the occasion at which the digitized seismic Peaceful Nuclear Explosion (PNE) data were presented to the scientific community and discussed by experts from around the world for the implications on lithospheric models and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). After a brief reminder of the history of deep seismic sounding (DSS) of the lithospheric mantle, we will emphasize the need to conserve the existing DSS data, not only of PNE type but also those generated by chemical explosions in other parts of the world during the last decades. Consequently, some examples will be given of likely future processing and interpretation methods.
