The SinoProbe Program is the Chinese government-funded earth science program with the overall aim of exploring the composition, structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere beneath China and the processes causing earthquakes, geo-hazards and natural resources. SinoProbe will be carried out using state of the art expertise and methods these will include the up to date geophysical technologies for real time data acquisition on deep crustal computation and modeling will allow scientists to address some of the outstanding questions about the deep structure, composition distribution and evolution of the Chinese continental lithosphere, and to provide strategic decision support information needed to discover new sources of energy and metals ,to assess potential geological disasters and to mitigate the damage associated with these geological disasters.
