Magnetotellurics: Practical Data Analysis and 1D Inversion


MODULE TWO – Magnetotellurics: Practical Data Analysis and 1D Inversion

CET, in conjunction with the Australian Society for Exploration Geophysics, are proud to introduce Senior Professor Alan Jones, the Head of Geophysics from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. With over 37 years of research experience, he is acknowledged as one of the world’s leading authorities on the use of natural-source electromagnetic (EM) methods – principally the magnetotelluric (MT) method – to address geoscience problems, from mining-scale targets to tectonics on the scale of cratons. With over a hundred publications in refereed journals he has already made a prolific contribution to international geophysics. Professor Jones has been recognised internationally by his peers being elected to the Royal Irish Academy and Academia Europaea.

This module will be a hands-on analysis and modelling workshop. The analysis will be using various methods to determine dimensionality and directionality, and testing the apparent resistivities and phases for internal consistency. The modelling will be 1D only, as there are a huge number of different 1D codes out there and, as Jones tells all of his students, he thinks we just about understand 1D inversion! Knowledge and skills gained from understanding 1D inversion are equally applicable to 2D and 3D.

VENUE: Resource Room, Ground Floor, Robert Street Building, University of Western Australia

DATES: 22(PM), 23 & 24 October 2014
