Development of the Inversion Method for Transient Electromagnetic Data

Transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is a geophysical tool to obtain resistivity distribution in the subsurface. Combining with the resistivity property of typical rocks, the TEM method can make inferences of the geological maps underground. The inversion method is the main technique to extract re...

description Transient electromagnetic method (TEM) is a geophysical tool to obtain resistivity distribution in the subsurface. Combining with the resistivity property of typical rocks, the TEM method can make inferences of the geological maps underground. The inversion method is the main technique to extract resistivity form the recorded TEM data. There are various inversion methods that have been applied to TEM data, each of which favors different model structures. It is essential to choose the optimal inversion algorithm for a TEM survey in a given geological setting. Thus, this article presents a systematic summary of recent developments of inversion methods for TEM data. We first summarize the basic concept of the TEM inversion theory. Then, the recent developments TEM inverse method are divided into deterministic inversion and stochastic inversion. For the deterministic method, we present the development of constrained inversion and joint inversion. For the stochastic method, we analyze the particle swarm optimization, Bayesian inversion, and TEM pseudo-seismic imaging. Thereafter, we prospect the future research direction of the TEM method.
