To investigate the use of integrated geophysics for the placemerfc of oil shale min~s, data were gathered from the Ficeamce Creek Basin, Colarado, USA. Seismic, resistivity, a~diomagnetotellurics (AMT), induced polarisation (IP), gravity, a~d magnetic data were gathered. Available remote sensing data indicated a linear zone that aligned with faults fourzl in both test sites. The faults, one of which was confirmed by an observation well, were ir~licated by resistivity, AMT, and closely spaced seismic arrays. For analysis of integrated g e o ~ s l c a l data, interactive c o m ~ modelling was d~veloped in which seiamics, gravity, ani resistivity data can be simultaneously slmulated.

The st~soil is modelled as a two-class material with a soft clay la~eT included within a stiff clay. A hypothetical case history is constructed to illustrate the i r ~ e t a t i o n of d~ta obtair~d at different stages of the moil exl~laration prcgrsmlne.
