Aarhus Workbench v2025.1: The Integrated Platform for Geophysical Inversion
Aarhus Workbench v2025.1 is a specialized software package for processing, modeling, and inverting geophysical data, with a strong focus on Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) methods, Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP), and seismic data. Developed by Aarhus GeoSoftware, it is a key tool for hydrogeologists, environmental consultants, and exploration geophysicists to create accurate 1D, 2D, and 3D subsurface models from field measurements.
Core Function: Transforming Data into Subsurface Models
Its primary function is to take raw or pre-processed geophysical field data and use advanced inversion algorithms to generate quantitative models of subsurface physical properties, such as electrical resistivity, which can be related to geology, groundwater, or mineral resources.
Key Functions:
-
Multi-Method Data Inversion: Specializes in inverting data from various TEM systems (like SkyTEM, tTEM, ground TEM), SIP, and seismic refraction/reflection surveys.
-
Layered & Smooth Inversion: Supports both discrete layered-earth and smooth-model inversion approaches to suit different geological interpretations and project goals.
-
Integrated Modeling & Visualization: Allows building of constrained starting models and provides tools for visualizing inversion results in 2D cross-sections and 3D volumes.
-
Data Processing & Management: Includes workflows for filtering, editing, and preparing field data for inversion within a unified project environment.
