Support for 22nd workshop on electromagnetic induction in the Earth

这笔赠款为将于2014年8月24-30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讲习班将允许重点介绍和讨论电磁地球成像的方法进步，包括仪器、数据处理、反演和解释实践。由于导电性对温度、流体、矿石矿物和岩性变化的敏感性，电磁测量提供了对地球的独特看法。这种敏感性使EM方法在从非常近的地表到地幔深处处理应用科学和基础科学问题的广泛调查中有用。EM方法越来越多地被用于近海石油勘探，并被应用于废弃地评估、含水层测绘和脆弱性研究、建筑材料勘探、建筑和公用设施调查以及未爆炸条例(UXO)检测和识别。***

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. ***
