Abstract
A method for estimating an inverted parameter of a subsurface formation includes measuring a first parameter of the subsurface formation and measuring a second parameter of the subsurface formation. The method further includes defining one or more inversion constraints using the second parameter and inverting with a processor the first parameter to generate the inverted parameter of the subsurface formation using the one or more inversion constraints.
