Welcome to mtnet.info
This web site is an independent resource for the electromagnetic induction community and is intended as an international electronic forum for the free exchange of knowledge, programs and data between scientists engaged in the study of the Earth using electromagnetic methods, principally but nor exclusively the magnetotelluric technique (magnetotellurics).
Activities undertaken by members come under the auspices of Working Group I-2 - Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth - of IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy).
The activities of the Working Group are organized by an elected 12-member committee who are a balanced representation of gender, EM disciplines and geographic regions. The WG Committee is led by an elected Chair, assisted by an elected Co-Chair. The officers of IAGA WG I.2 and the Chair and Co-Chair of the WG Committee are:
- Chair, IAGA WG I.2 2011-2015: Professor Ian Ferguson
- Co-Chair, IAGA WG I.2 2011-2015: Dr. Nick Palshin
- Chair, WG Committee 2008-2012: Professor Yasuo Ogawa
- Co-Chair, WG Committee 2008-2012: Professor Ian Ferguson
- Chair, IAGA WG I.2 2015-2019: Dr. Nick Palshin
- Co-Chair, IAGA WG I.2 2015-2019: To be decided by election of Co-Chair of WG Committee in 2014
- Chair, WG Committee 2012-2016: Professor Ian Ferguson
