In this paper, the possibility of using simultaneously seismic and gravity data, for the reconstruction of solid-Earth structures, has been investigated through the use of an algorithm which allows joint efficient and reliable optimisation of compressional velocity and mass density parameters. We view the measured data as a realisation of a stochastic process generated by the physical parameters to be sought and we construct a “probability density function” which includes three kinds of information: information derived from gravity measurements; information derived from seismic travel time inversion and information on the physical correlation among density and velocity parameters. We show that combining data has a beneficial effect on the inversion since: it makes the problem more stable and as a consequence, providing that the quality of data is sufficiently high, enables more accurate and reliable reconstruction of the unknown parameters. In this context, we look forward the GOCE mission, which promises high spatial resolution (100 200 km) and accurate (1 2 mGals) gravity data. We show results obtained from data sets calculated for a lateral inhomogeneous earth synthetic model and from seismic and gravity field data analysed: — in the framework of TOMOVES (TOMOgraphy of Mt. VESuvius) experiment, an European project aiming at reconstructing the 3-D image of Mt. Vesuvius volcano and the crust underneath. using high resolution seismic tomography techniques and other geophysical methods; — for a profile inserted in a project aiming at reconstructing the crustal structure between Corsica and the Northern Appennines which crosses the Ligurian Sea and cuts the Ligurian Appennines W of La Spezia, extending up to Parma.
