Subsurface Modeling using Gravity and TDEM in Jiken, Blora Regency

Abstract

Geophysics plays an essential role in imaging the subsurface condition of the earth. Gravity and time-domain electromagnetic method is geophysical method that can be used to visualize the subsurface condition. In this research, gravity and TDEM surveys have been carried out in Jiken, Blora Regency. Modeling technique is needed to obtain the subsurface model that bring information related to subsurface condition. Inversion modeling is applied separately to the gravity data and TDEM data, respectively. The density interface inversion modeling is used to gravity data.Subsurface condition is approached by three layers model with different density contrast values in each layer. In these schemes, the modeling process will determine the thickness for every layer. While for TDEM modeling,differential evolution technique is applied to model the TDEM data. The subsurface condition is approached by four layers model. In these schemes, the modeling process will determine the resistivity and thickness for every layer. Finally, the model obtained from gravity inversion modeling is integrated into the model from TDEM inversion data by overlaying the model.
