MTNet webinars on EM: EMinars
EMinars: A series of webinars on EM Induction in the Earth in the broadest sense, from theory to acquisition to time series processing to analysis to modelling and inversion to interpretation. Webinars will comprise Research (R) presentations, Software (S) presentations, Educational (E) presentations, and also some presentations with Career (C) advice, and a new category called Discussions (D). Webinars will be from those who volunteer and also those we solicit.In addition to webinars from EM people, we will sprinkle in the programme webinars from scientists outside EM but whose work impacts on our own.
Thee series will run annually through broad themes and initiate with theory, instrumentation and acquisition and progress through all phases of particularly, but not exclusively, magnetotellurics.
Additional Educational topics to be added to the tentative list below include GIC research, geothermal research,
mineral exploration using natural and controlled EM sources, hydrocarbon exploration using natural and controlled EM sources, etc.
We expect to run through the Educational series each academic year, so next September/October we will start again with theory, instrumentation and acquisition.
The Research seminars will be slotted in where convenient. Presentations of code are welcome, as long as the code is Open Source, and preferably Open Platform.
The webinars will be nominally weekly, on a Wednesday. They will be at very different times to give all of us around the globe the opportunity to attend them.
When allowed by the presenter, the webinars will be recorded and made available through this page of the MTNet web site.
All presenters are asked to pre-record their webinars and make them available to us using a file sharing service the day before the webinar (or earlier)
in case of internet problems at the presenter's location on the date/time of the webinar.
One easy and useful tool for recording presentation videos on any platform is OBS Studio, and an informative and instructive video
can be viewed here.
Below is our EMinar schedule for the 2020-2021 Season. We are actively seeking suggestions for the 2021-22 Season.
The links by each person's name takes you to their LinkedIn profile, if they have one, or to a web page of their discretion.
Dates, times, presenters and titles for this schedule will most certainly change, so please check back often. Also, join MTNet here as updates will be sent out via MTNet email.
If you are interested in presenting a webinar, or can think of a topic that would be of huge general interest, please email one of us: Alan Jones, Kate Robertson, Max Moorkamp, and Stephan Thiel.
