Abstract
A method for subsurface Earth surveying includes acquiring seismic data over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. Seismoelectric data are acquired over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. Electroseismic data are also acquired over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. At least one type of electromagnetic survey data is acquired over a selected region of the Earth's subsurface. Survey volumes of the seismic data, the seismoelectric data, the electroseismic data and the electromagnetic data are matched, and a model of the Earth's subsurface is generated that accounts for all of the seismic data, the seismoelectric data, the electroseismic data and the electromagnetic data.
