GOLDEN, Col. — After nearly two decades of data collection, the first-ever nationwide survey of Earth’s electrical conductivity is available. 

A wonderful talk today be Martyn Unsworth, UA professor and CSEG Distinguished Lecturer. He described how radio waves (magnetotellurics) can be used to image the Earth's interior and provide complementary information to seismic, gravity, and other geophysical methods.

Every solar flare improves the signal!

Fieldwork is going very well. Back from a fantastic week at Bunger Hills, deploying magnetotellurics instruments, and upgrading the seismometer and GNSS station. The preparations for next year's Denman Terrestrial Campaign (DTC) are coming along well. #ACEAS #AAD #DTC #seismology #magnetotellurics #geodesy
