The International Workshop on Electromagnetic (EM) Induction in the Earth is the premier venue for EM researchers around the world to exchange research results and new developments. The 16th bi-annual workshop will be held at the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA from June 16 through June 22, 2002. A map of the college campus is available.

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 is important in monitoring environmental problems, exploring for energy and mineral occurrences, investigating regions of potential natural hazards (seismic and volcanic), and studying the interior structure of the Earth and other planets. Technical sessions addressing these issues are the primary focus of the EM Workshop. Persons interested in contributing to the workshop as presenters or delegates are encouraged to attend.

Santa Fe
Santa Fe is the second oldest city in North America, and is the capital of the State of New Mexico. Its population is about 60,000. Both English and Spanish are universal local languages. The summer climate is dry, with average low and high temperatures of 10° and 28°C. Santa Fe is a center for many types of artistic activities with many art galleries and an open air opera in the summer. It is also world renowned as the focus of the unique New Mexico cuisine, with numerous high quality restaurants. Further information about Santa Fe may be found at http://www.santafe.org or http://www.newmexico.org. Information is also available on travel to Santa Fe.


SEMI pre-workshop
SEMI (Summer Electromagnetic Immersion) will provide participants intensive, hands-on immersion in the latest electromagnetic methods featuring equipment manufacturers and software developers. SEMI will take place at the College of Santa Fe (CSF), New Mexico, USA from Thursday, June 13, 2002 through Saturday, June 15, 2002, the three days immediately proceeding the 16th EM Workshop.

SEMI will be an interactive, informational, and educational experience involving EM equipment and processing software. It is intended for persons at all levels of proficiency from experienced practitioners to beginning students. SEMI attendees will be introduced to the latest geophysical EM equipment and will use it in the field under the guidance of company representatives. The data collected will be analyzed with state-of-the-art software so that initial interpretations can be made. SEMI will be especially valuable for university students worldwide and those who will benefit from intensive, practical exposure to modern EM applications.

The following companies will participate in SEMI: EiKon Technologies, Electromagnetic Instruments (EMI), Geometrics, Geonics, Geophex, GSY-USA, Phoenix Geophysics, Sensors & Software, and Zonge Engineering and Research Organization. Field equipment will include time and frequency domain EM units ranging from shallow sensing ground penetrating radar and hand-held, multiple frequency units to deep probing broad band magnetotelluric systems.

All SEMI participants will stay in the dormitories at the College of Santa Fe. The registration fee for SEMI is $120 for full delegates and free to students. This includes bus transportation from the Albuquerque airport to the College of Santa Fe (~ 100 km), 3 nights lodging, 3 breakfasts, and 2 lunches at the CSF.
