PART 3: Electromagnetic prospecting part III of IV (3 hours)
EM from an operational point of view:
•The 5 pillarsofEM and theimportanceofeachofthem:
–EM modeling(1,2,3D)
–EM sources (HED, VEL, LOOP, CED)
–EM receivers (3 component E field, 3 component H field)
–EM processingproblems and software
–EM inversionproblems and software
•Survey design and understandingthe5 pillars
•EM + Seismics= true ?
•EM -a success or a failure - so far
