Generally there are limits on what can be known even in the ideal limit of exact data. ref Harvnb Parker 1994 loc chapter 2 ref The goal of inverse theory is to determine the spatial distribution of some variable for example, density or seismic wave velocity . The distribution determines the values of an observable at the surface for example, gravitational acceleration for density . There must be a forward model predicting the surface observations given the distribution of this variable. Applications include geomagnetism , magnetotellurics and seismology . Fractals and complexity Fractal geometry can be found in a number of geophysical phenomena, for example the distribution of earthquakes in space or magnitude. ref Harvnb Turcotte 1997 ref Many such phenomena are associated with nonlinear dynamical systems .

Exploration geophysics is the applied branch of geophysics which uses surface methods to measure the physical properties of the subsurface Earth , in order to detect or infer the presence and position of ore minerals, hydrocarbons , geothermal reservoirs, groundwater reservoirs, and other geological structures. Exploration geophysics is the practical application of Physics physical methods such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic to measure the physical properties of rocks, and in particular, to detect the measurable physical differences between rocks that contain ore deposits or hydrocarbons and those without. Exploration geophysics can be used to directly detect the target style of mineralisation, via measuring its physical properties directly. For example one may measure the density contrasts between iron ore and silicate wall rocks, or may measure the electrical conductivity contrast between conductive sulfide mineral s and barren silicate minerals. Geophysical methods The main techniques used are Seismology Seismic methods , such as reflection seismology , seismic refraction , and seismic tomography . Physical geodesy Geodesy and gravity anomaly gravity techniques , including gravity gradiometry . Magnetism Magnetic techniques , including aeromagnetic survey s and magnetometer magnetometers .
