Sunday, September 13, 1998

Under the auspices of the SEG Mining Committee, there was a one-day workshop on Magnetotellurics for Mineral Exploration at the 1998  SEG annual meeting in New Orleans.  The recent increase in the use of MT in a wide variety of exploration settings has created a large number of very recent case histories that have not yet appeared in journal or other form.  The case histories illustrate the range of survey configurations, and data processing and interpretation techniques that now exist for MT. 

The goal of the workshop was to provide a forum for current users of MT and to provide a review of the principles of MT and its applications for the growing number of geophysicists who are interested in including MT in their exploration strategies.  The workshop consisted of a 2-hour introductory review of the basics of MT. This was followed by a series of talks selected to give a complete a picture as possible of the current state of the art in MT applied for mineral exploration.
