Joint Interpretation of Magnetotelluric and Seismic Models for Exploration of the Gross Schoenebeck Geothermal Site

Due to the non-uniqueness of the inverse problem, the interpretation of geophysical models in terms of geological units is not always straightforward. It is common to use a combination of different geophysical methods to obtain the distribution of independent physical properties over the area of interest in order to discriminate between the different lithologies or geologic units. This kind of studies is usually limited to qualitative comparisons of the different models, which may – or may not –support a relation between the parameters in certain areas. Quantitative approaches are in general based on empirical relations between physical parameters, which often are not of universal applicability.
