The Lousal Mine (Iberian Pyrite Belt, Portugal) was operated from 1900 to 1988 for the extraction of massive sulphides and was later rehabilitated as a science museum. It was selected as a test site for underground muon tomography applied to geophysical surveys, as part of the LouMu project. This study focuses on seismic tomography to analyse the subsurface above the mine gallery, primarily surveyed by a muography telescope, which was developed specifically for this site by the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics. To validate the muon tomography results, an initial approach using conventional 2D seismic refraction failed to reach the Waldemar gallery depth, due to limited seismic ray coverage. Therefore, an innovative setup using surface shots and in-gallery geophones was implemented, providing full ray coverage. A 3D velocity model was then produced using the ATOM3D code, which enabled the integration of this configuration and performed travel-time inversion for velocity calculation. A regional dextral strike-slip fault, the Corona Fault (CF), crosses the surveyed area, and served as the main focus of this investigation. The 3D velocity model successfully detected this structure, that corresponded to the boundary between positive anomalies of the Volcano-Sedimentary Complex (VSC) and negative anomalies of the Phyllite-Quartzite Group (PQG). The absolute velocity distribution showed a distinct offset around the Corona Fault (CF), indicating a dextral strike-slip mechanism. A subvertical extension of secondary faults was observed, reflecting deformation similar to that of the main tectonic context. Previous data from the gallery confirmed that these results are consistent with the known geology and can serve as a reference for the muon tomography interpretations.

Accurately specifying polar ionospheric electrodynamics is essential for understanding energy and momentum exchange between space and the upper atmosphere and for improving simulations of the ionosphere and the thermosphere. Statistical models are commonly used to provide input for global circulation models (GCMs). However, maps derived from simultaneous multi-instrument observations better represent the actual state of the system. Such maps integrate measurements from ground-based magnetometers and radars, in situ plasma and magnetic field sensors at low-Earth orbit, and optical and particle observations of auroral precipitation. However, ionospheric data assimilation remains in its early stages. Current methods rely on restrictive assumptions to simplify equations and stabilize inverse problems, but these constraints limit applicability beyond polar regions, hinder the inclusion of time-dependent processes, and prevent independent estimation of ionospheric conductance. This review examines the physical foundations of ionospheric data assimilation, evaluates the limitations of existing approaches, and explores pathways toward more accurate and flexible techniques. Specifically, we discuss approaches to: (1) use a common dataset to estimate conductance and fields in a single inversion; (2) incorporate neutral winds instead of assuming they are zero; (3) account for a realistic main magnetic field geometry instead of assuming radial field lines; (4) eliminate a sharp boundary between polar and low-latitude regions; (5) use F-region density measurements to capture the history of ionospheric conductance and plasma transport; (6) account for the magnetic field of ground-induced currents in a more realistic way; (7) include ionospheric induction effects to stabilize time-dependent inversions; and (8) couple ionospheric electrodynamics with global magnetosphere simulations to model the physics of time variations.
