Generalized joint inversion of multimodal geophysical data using Gramian constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] We introduce a new approach to the joint inversion of multimodal geophysical data using Gramian spaces of model parameters and Gramian constraints, computed as determinants of the corresponding Gram matrices of the multimodal model parameters and/or their attributes. We demonstrate that this new approach is a generalized technique that can be applied to the simultaneous joint inversion of any number and combination of geophysical datasets. Our approach includes as special cases those extant methods based on correlations and/or structural constraints of the multimodal model parameters. As an illustration of this new approach, we present a model study relevant to exploration under cover for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, and demonstrate how joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data is able to recover alteration associated with IOCG mineralization.

Joint inversion of seismic traveltimes and gravity data using petrophysical constraints with application to lithology differentiation
Joint inversion of different geophysical data sets has recently received considerable attention. Different geophysical methods are sensitive to different physical properties and their variations on different scales, and joint inversion provides a way to combine these complementary information contained in each data set by integrating all the geophysical data into a single inversion scheme. The ...
متن کاملTheory and Application of Joint Interpretation of Multimethod Geophysical Data
This work is devoted to the theory of joint interpretation of multimethod geophysical data and its application to the solution of real geophysical inverse problems. The targets of such joint interpretation can be geological bodies with an established dependence between various physical properties that cause anomalies in several geophysical fields (geophysical multiresponse). The establishing of...
متن کاملLarge-scale Inversion of Magnetic Data Using Golub-Kahan Bidiagonalization with Truncated Generalized Cross Validation for Regularization Parameter Estimation
In this paper a fast method for large-scale sparse inversion of magnetic data is considered. The L1-norm stabilizer is used to generate models with sharp and distinct interfaces. To deal with the non-linearity introduced by the L1-norm, a model-space iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is used. The original model matrix is factorized using the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization that proje...
متن کاملGeophysical inversion using petrophysical constraints
Petrophysical information is sometimes available from well logs, laboratory measurements, etc. It has been shown that incorporation of such information into geophysical inversions can greatly improve the recovered models. However, when the known petrophysical information is not applicable throughout the entire region, the application of petrophysical constraints to geophysical inversions could ...
متن کاملImproved Parallel Inversion Algorithm for the MT Sounding Data based on PSO
The magnetotelluric (MT) method has become more widely used in hydrocarbon exploration. The inversion of MT data, which can determine the electrical structure of subsurface, is a nonlinear and multimodal optimization problem. Particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is a good solver for this geophysical inversion problem, whereas it has a shortage of heavy computation time. An improved parall...
