Introduction to special section: Integrated geophysical imaging

This special section illustrates the value of integration with nonseismic geophysical methods, namely potential fields (gravity and magnetics), electric and electromagnetic techniques. The primary objective is to overcome the overall underappreciation of these methods as exploration tools. We provide their brief overview and present nine case studies illustrating how the integrative approach to geophysical data analysis influences the overall result and reduces the uncertainty of the derived solution.
