f A joint inversion algorithm to process geoelectric and subface wave seismic data

In the exploration of near surface structures geoelectric and seismic methods are commonly used. The independent inversion of the data is well-established. Surface wave data are usually considered as noise, however they contain valuable information about the geological structure which can be extracted by inverting the data. The independent inversion of both surface wave seismic and geoelectric data show internal ambiguity and nonuniqueness. Our aim in this paper is to show that these problems can sufficiently be reduced using the geoelectric and surface wave data together in a joint inversion algo rithm.
