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 presentations, Software presentations, Educational presentations, Tutorials, and also some presentations with Career advice, and Discussions. 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 or who are addressing global and/or societally-relevant issues.

The series will run through broad themes from 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.

The webinars will be nominally weekly, on a "Wednesday" UT time (which may be Thursday morning for those in Asia and Australasia). 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 and on MTNet's YouTube channel. Also if the presenter allows it, the presentation will be available as a PDF on this page.


Below is our EMinar schedule 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 Brand, Max Moorkamp, and Stephan Thiel.
