Advances in forward modelling and inversion of geophysical electromagnetic data.

The article discusses the recent growth in research on the geophysical electromagnetic method (EM) and its applications in mineral exploration, engineering, and environmental studies. The article highlights the challenges in accurately modeling EM responses for complex earth systems and recovering electrical models from EM configurations. The article proposes a special issue on advances in forward modeling and inversion of geophysical electromagnetic data, which includes eight articles on topics such as numerical modeling, signal processing, and case studies. The article concludes that while 3D inversion is a widely discussed topic, it is not yet practical for real-life situations. [Extracted from the article]
