Geophysics introduces new section on multiphysics and joint inversion
Geophysicists seek to extract useful and potentially actionable information about the subsurface by interpreting various types of geophysical data together with prior geologic information. It is well recognized that reliable imaging, characterization, and monitoring of subsurface systems require integration of multiple sources of information from a multitude of geoscientific data sets. With increasing data volumes and computational power, new data types, constant development of inversion algorithms, and the advent of the big data era, Geophysics editors see multiphysics integration as an effective means of meeting some of the challenges arising from imaging subsurface systems with higher resolution and reliability as well as exploring geologically more complicated areas. To advance the field of multiphysics integration and to showcase its added value, Geophysics will introduce a new section “Multiphysics and Joint Inversion” in 2021. Submissions are accepted now.
