Three-dimensional magnetotelluric and controlled-source electromagnetic modelling and inversion in isotropic and anisotropic media with Gaussian Quadrature Grids

Electromagnetic methods are widely used by geophysicists in many applications, including mineral, petroleum and geothermal exploration, environmental and groundwater characterisation, and in imaging of Earth and other planets. Large data-sets are routinely collected, but to interpret these carefully we need efficient computer modelling tools that incorporate the complexity of the subsurface. We will develop a new computer algorithm that uses an innovative approach to model the Earth in three dimensions. Computer codes will be available through the national AuScope infrastructure facilities, so that researchers will have free access to algorithms, largely for the first time, to better interpret their data.
