Support for 22nd workshop on electromagnetic induction in the Earth

这笔拨款为将于2014年8月24日至30日在德国魏玛举行的第22届地球电磁感应国际研讨会提供部分支持。资金将主要用于支持来自美国的参与者（早期职业教师，学生和博士后），剩余资金将用于支持来自欠发达国家的参与者。EM研讨会将重点介绍和讨论方法上的进展，包括电磁地球成像的仪器、数据处理、反演和解释实践。由于电导率对温度、流体、矿石矿物和岩性变化的敏感性，电磁测量提供了一个独特的地球视图。这种灵敏度使得电磁方法在广泛的研究中非常有用，可以解决从近地表到深地幔的应用和基础科学问题。EM方法越来越多地用于海上石油勘探和发现应用，废物场地评估，含水层测绘和脆弱性研究，建筑材料勘探，建筑和公用事业调查，以及未爆炸条例（UXO）检测和鉴别。＊＊＊

1439958EgbertThis grant provides partial support for the 22nd International Workshop on Electromagnetic (EM) Induction in the Earth to be held in Weimar, Germany August 24-30, 2014. Funds will be used primarily to support participants (early career faculty, students and postdocs) from the USA, with any residual funds used to support attendees from underdeveloped countries. The EM workshop will allow for focused presentations and discussion on the methodological advances, including instrumentation, data processing, inversion, and interpretation practice for electromagnetic Earth imaging. EM measurements provide a unique view of the Earth because of the sensitivity of electrical conductivity to temperature, fluids, ore minerals, and lithologic variations. This sensitivity makes EM methods useful in a wide range of investigations, addressing both applied and basic science questions, from the very near surface to the deep mantle. EM methods are increasingly used for off-shore petroleum exploration and find application to, waste site assessment, aquifer mapping and vulnerability studies, exploration for construction materials, building and utility investigation, and unexploded ordinance (UXO) detection and discrimination. ***
