Description

The earth is composed of layers of rock of different lithology, with sharp boundaries between them, so surely it is better to use layered AEM models than smooth models? However, this idealised cartoon model is complicated by the fact that most electrical conductance is through pore water of varying salinity rather than through the rock matrix, and by factors, such as weathering gradients, which will induce gradients in physical properties. This paper discussed experiences with trying to use layered, rather than smooth, inversions of AEM data.
