Researchers have developed a novel neural-operator surrogate designed to accelerate Bayesian inversion for three-dimensional airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data. This surrogate model learns from Maxwell's equations and employs continual learning to adapt to various geological priors, enhancing its applicability across different case studies. By replacing the computationally expensive solver, the surrogate enables the inversion of millions of soundings in seconds, a task previously infeasible. This advancement promises to deliver uncertainty-quantified conductivity imaging at a survey scale, facilitating near real-time mineral exploration. AI
