Abstract：The inversion of electromagnetic data is an inherently non-unique and unstable problem due to the data noises and incomplete data coverage, which means different geo-electrical models could fit the observed data at the same level. A stable solution of an ill-posed inverse problem can be obtained by the regularization methods in which some desired structure are imposed to stabilize the inverse problem. We have developed an algorithm to invert frequency-domain electromagnetic data generated by a line current source for a 2D model of the earth. To stabilize the inversion, we adopt a smoothness-constraint approach for the model parameters and adjust the regularization parameter objectively using a adaptive regularization parameter technique. For calculating the sensitivities using any of the accurate methods will be very time-consuming, we applied the adjoint-equation approximate method. By means of the numerical examples using synthetic data, we have demonstrated that the inversion method can be effectively to reconstruct the subsurface resistivity structure.
