Abstract
A system and method for synchronizing collection of seismic data used for seismic surveys. In one embodiment, positioning signals received from a positioning system, such as the Global Positioning System, are used to acquire a highly accurate time value. Data collection is then initiated at a prespecified time using the time determined from the positioning signal.
