Abstract

To perform inversion based on electromagnetic (EM) data acquired in a subterranean survey, time domain controlled source EM (TD-CSEM) data is acquired by at least one EM receiver in response to EM signals from a controlled EM source. Further data is received, where the further data is selected from among magnetotelluric (MT) data and DC data acquired by the at least one receiver. A probabilistic joint inversion is applied on the TD-CSEM data and the further data to produce a model representing a subterranean structure that is a target of the subterranean survey.
