Abstract:
A case history in which magnetotelluric (MT) soundings and Vertical Electric Soundings (V.E.S.) were performed on a structurally simple geology is presented. The comparison of MT synthetic apparent resistivity curves, computed using the one-dimensional model parameters derived from V.E.S. interpretation, with the experimental ones, is discussed. Inversion of MT data gives a range of oscillation for model parameters which is conditioned by data scattering. A careful assessment of the inversion effectiveness, by means of suitable statistical tests, allows us to single out the most statistically reliable model parameters.
