Electromagnetic Measurements in Geosciences: Studying Earth's Interior, Near Surface and Space

Call for Papers

During the past few decades, geophysics has evolved through the development of new methodologies and techniques, which include a very strong geoelectromagnetic component. The contemporary geoelectromagnetic research is rigorous and rapidly ever-expanding to all aspects of Earth science, endeavoring not only to image the deep and shallow subsurface and study the physics of the Earth's interior, but also to understand the electromagnetic (EM) phenomena taking place in the near space of the Earth, with emphasis on the ionosphere and the lithosphere-ionosphere coupling.

We invite investigators to contribute original research articles, as well as review articles that highlight the implementation of EM measurements and techniques to Earth science problems such as those quoted above. Indicatively and not exclusively, these may range from magnetotelluric sounding, resistivity tomography, and GPR to ionospheric sounding, TEC measurements, and satellite EM observations. We particularly welcome articles presenting investigations related to natural hazards, with emphasis on earthquakes, volcanic activity, and ionospheric disturbances. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • EM applications to study the Earth's interior
  • EM techniques applied to near-surface problems
  • EM methods to study the Earth's near space
