The controlled source audio-frequency magnetotelluric method (CSAMT) stands out for its economic efficiency and widespread application in geophysical monitoring. However, the separate inversion of time-lapse monitoring data encounters challenges in comparing and identifying abnormal changes due to variations in data fitting. Furthermore, the utilization of a method akin to Cagniard apparent resistivity for inversion necessitates the simultaneous observation of at least two components of the electromagnetic field, making it unsuitable for extensive three-dimensional observations. This paper proposes a 3D time-lapse electric field inversion algorithm for CSAMT, addressing the complexities in geophysical monitoring. The algorithm introduces two regularization factors and defines an objective function with both temporal and spatial constraints. Synthetic testing reveals the stability of the 3D time-lapse electric field inversion algorithm, demonstrating its effectiveness in delineating underground variations. This solution resolves the challenges posed by the independent inversion of time-lapse monitoring data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
