The biennial EM Induction Workshop was this year hosted in Beppu, Japan. The conference was held in B-Con Plaza from the 7th to the 13th of September.
The event gathers researchers from around the world to exchange on the latest developments in the field of electromagnetic geophysics. The Workshop is an important event for both the international research community and for many sectors of industry and government that use EM methods.
The latest advancements in DroneSOM – 3D EM software, focusing on its ability to handle arbitrary transmitter shapes and complex topography under MPI parallelization environment, were presented. Additionally, a study was conducted to assess the feasibility of using high-frequency UAVs for exploration, especially in challenging environments such as lakes and areas with enriched magnetic bodies. Our EM 3D inversion team was in EMIW2024 to present posters with titles of
A multifunctional 3D electromagnetic solver and resolution analysis for high-frequency semi-airborne survey presented by Longying Xiao
and
3D Octree-grid inversion of MT data from North-Eastern Finland presented by Cedric Patzer.
It was a great platform to meet old and new colleagues be on the wave of the latest achievements, current challenges, and popular research topics, and see where the development in EM methods is heading in the future. In addition, also new contacts to potential future collaborators as well as users of our new 3D inversion software have been established. Also, Japan’s nature and culture took the conference experience to in a next level.
