A one‐dimensional joint‐inversion (JI) scheme considering seismic reflection and refraction, and MT data is developed. Its efficacy to resolve low velocity conducting sediments below high velocity resistive flood basalts is tested for a representative geological model considering noisy, incomplete data. The JI is found to provide improved results in comparison to those obtained by individual seismic and MT inversions.
