2.4 Conclusion
It is possible to describe electromagnetic field propagation analytically for only a few
simplified earth models. Modelling realistic geological environments imply numerical
solution of Maxwell’s equations which are very time-consuming and not yet commonly
used in industry. Several interpretation techniques and strategies have therefore been
developed based on the simplified equations given above and these will be discussed in the
following chapters.
