1. A system comprising:
- a network;
multiple different types of survey sensors connected to the network; and
a controller connected to the network,wherein the multiple different types of survey sensors are configured to communicate different types of measurement data in packets over the network to the controller, wherein each of the packets contains information identifying a corresponding type of survey sensor that provided the measurement data carried by the respective packet, and wherein the controller is configured to determine a cross-response of a first type of the different types of survey sensors to stimulation of a second type that is different from the first type, where the cross-response comprises one of;
(1) a seismic response as measured by the first type of survey sensor to electromagnetic stimulation of the second type from a source, or (2) an electromagnetic response as measured by the first type of survey sensor to seismic stimulation of the second type from a source.
