Abstract

Lateral composition inhomogeneities of the Earth's deep geoelectric structure require special consideration for any conductivity evaluation of a region. This paper presents a review of some theoretical techniques for determining both the vertical and horizontal conductivity profiles of a region using a spatial distribution of observed electromagnetic fields at the Earth's surface. Effects of shallow positioned anomalies upon a deep conductivity determination are also considered. An application of the procedure is illustrated by a conductivity study in the Soviet Carpathians.
