contents The inversion of DC resistivity data is a widely employed method for near-surface characterization. Recently, deep learning-based inversion techniques have garnered significant attention due to their capability to elucidate intricate non-linear relationships between geophysical data and model parameters. Nevertheless, these methods face challenges such as limited training data availability and the generation of geologically inconsistent solutions. These concerns can be mitigated through the integration of a physics-informed approach. Moreover, the quantification of prediction uncertainty is crucial yet often overlooked in deep learning-based inversion methodologies. In this study, we utilized Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) based Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to invert both synthetic and field Schlumberger sounding data while also estimating prediction uncertainty via Monte Carlo dropout. For both synthetic and field case studies, the median profile estimated by PINNs is comparable to the results from existing literature, while also providing uncertainty estimates. Therefore, PINNs demonstrate significant potential for broader applications in near-surface characterization.
