Abstract :
A robust method is presented for constructing layered Earth models from surface resistivity data. The algorithm automatically accommodates any number of discontinuities without the need to specify a priori its number or location in the vertical profile. It further includes automatic correction factors for the common segmentation of Schlumberger soundings due to static shift effects
