Abstract

This work presents a method to find rock conductivities in a zone from electromagnetic measurements on the surface of the earth. It uses a stochastic algorithm to find a Bayesian estimator of the conductivities. The algorithm is tested on a synthetic model made up of an heteregeneous thin sheet inbedded in a stratified substratum.
