What is it about?

One can hardly comprehensively identify any object by a single parameter. Even an individual cannot uniquely be identified with their first name, except including the middle and last name. This is the philosophy of joint inversion geophysics. Combinations of methods to interpret subsurface geology promises to uniquely differentiate the structure from its similar competitors. An example of use of seismic and frequency domain EM data is presented to demonstrate the concept.

Why is it important?

Many existing articles about joint inversions present the mathematics and results, however our article focus on describing the intermediate step which is parameter settings. Parameter settings could be random or by trial and error except otherwise studied and presented to readers to benefit from. This is what our article systematically addressed.

Perspectives

I suppose that there is still more to be researched about Joint inversion of geophysical data and this article is an invaluable reference for crossing the hurdle of parameter selection.
