Abstract
A method of passive surveying comprises generating one or more detected signals by passively detecting a signal generated within a subsurface earth formation due to a seismoelectric response or an electroseismic response in at least one porous subsurface earth formation containing at least one fluid, and processing the one or more detected signals to determine at least one property of the subsurface earth formation.

1-30. (canceled)
A method of surveying comprising:
- receiving first data associated with a first survey technique, the first survey technique comprising detecting an electromagnetic signal generated by a subsurface earth formation in response to a passive-source electromagnetic signal, wherein the electromagnetic signal is generated by an electroseismic or seismoelectric conversion of the passive-source electromagnetic signal;
- receiving second data associated with a second survey technique, wherein the second survey technique is different than the first survey technique;
- and
- using the first data from the first survey technique in combination with the second data from the second survey technique to determine at least one property of the subsurface earth formation, based, at least in part, on the detected electromagnetic signal generated by a subsurface earth formation.

A surveying system comprising:
- one or more first sensors configured to receive first data from a first survey technique, the first survey technique comprising detecting an electromagnetic signal generated by a subsurface earth formation in response to a passive-source electromagnetic signal, wherein the electromagnetic signal is generated by an electroseismic or seismoelectric conversion of the passive-source electromagnetic signal;
- and
- one or more second sensors configured to receive second data generated by a second survey technique, wherein the second survey technique is different than the first survey technique.
- a processor configured to use the first data from the first survey technique in combination with the second data from the second survey technique to determine at least one property of the subsurface earth formation, based, at least in part, on the detected electromagnetic signal generated by a subsurface earth formation.
