What is it about?
We provide a geophysical inversion example using simple 1D magnetotelluric examples. All examples are available in on-line as an actionable form, hence readers can not only run examples, but also change sets of parameters used. With this interactive set up, we emphasize how important user's background knowledge on inverse theory and physical background on a used geophysical survey to obtain reasonable image of earth structure from geophysical data.

Perspectives
We want to provide a starting point that reader can recognize that geophysical inversion is not a black box tool that always output a 'good' image of the earth. Rather, it is subtle tool and sets of parameter must be set properly to obtain a good result. Hence, understanding gists of inverse theory and physics of used geophysical survey are crucial.
