Maryam Bayat: Imaging fault zones with 3D modeling and inversion of SAEM data

Abstract:

Using ground-based transmitters and airborne receivers, we investigate the applicability of the semi-airborne electromagnetic (SAEM) measurement technique for imaging subsurface structures such as faults or folds. The goal is to test the method’s capabilities for geological investigations in a broader sense beyond a specific mineral or groundwater exploration context. The presentation will include both, 3D synthetic studies and inversion results of real data collected in a faulted region in the framework of the GeoMetEr project. Furthermore, we performed a joint inversion of synthetic magnetic and synthetic SAEM data in view of integrating multiple geophysical datasets to improve the resolution and achieve a more reliable characterization of fault zones.
