We numerically simulate marine CSEM measurements using the finite element method. Unstructured tetrahedral meshes easily allow for the inclusion of arbitrary seafloor bathymetry so that natural environments are mapped into the model in a close-to-reality way. A primary/secondary field approach as well as an adaptive mesh refinement strategy improve the solution accuracy. The seafloor bathymetry is shown to produce significant three-dimensional effects compared to a onedimensional, flat seafloor model.
