Short summary
Short summary
We present a new approach for performing 3D magnetotelluric forward simulations more efficiently. Conventional methods become increasingly demanding as model resolution increases. Our approach combines numerical techniques that reduce problem size and computational cost. Tests on benchmark examples and a real-world case demonstrate speed-ups of over 90% with acceptable loss of accuracy, enabling high-resolution simulations within practical time frames.

Short summary
The seismo-electromagnetic method is used for non-invasive subsurface exploration, showing interesting results for detecting fluids such as water, oil, gas, CO2, or ice, and to better characterize the subsurface in terms of porosity, permeability, and fractures. We describe theoretical background, the role of key parameters, recent theoretical and numerical developments, and field and laboratory observations to show that this method can bring advantages compared to classical geophysical method.
The seismo-electromagnetic method is used for non-invasive subsurface exploration, showing...
