Developing Active Source Seismology for Planetary Science
The development of active-source seismology instrumentation to survey subsurface habitability, geology, and water ice has lagged behind other geophysical techniques. We recommend that the Planetary Decadal Survey place the development and maturation of instrumentation for active-source seismology as a high priority for the coming decade.
