Electromagnetic Induction Workshop
It was a sunny day on Thursday morning in Weimar, Germany. Prof. Oliver Ritter (the head of the organizer, on the left) were looking at the main entrance of the venue of twenty second electromagnetic induction workshop, before he came in to the building. 19 program sessions, from theory to 3D inversion in practice, were […]
International Geothermal Conference
Every year, ITB organizes an international geothermal conferences. In this occation, Prof. Manfred Hochstein attent this conference. Thus, many students or young scientists had a great opportunity to discuss with an expert, a grand father, a legend, who have been doing research in geothermal for decades.
GFZ PhD Days
Every year, GFZ PhD day is taken place in building H, Albert Einstein Street, Potsdam, Germany. In this occation, hundreds PhD students present their research. Usually, this conference is on March, so the students who are going to EGU meeting in April have enough time to do well preparation. It is a unique meeting where […]
Electromagnetic Induction Workshop
EGU
This is the main building where EGU conference take place every year. There were titles on the program book. There were almost 10.000 scientists who attent the conference. It could be that EGU is the second huge conference, after AGU, where many scientists meet together.
Schmucker – Weidelt – Kolloquium
It was a nice monday evening in Neustadt, Germany, when Gerald Smith took the picture of German EM community. Some of them are EM experts who have been attending Schmucker – Weidelt – Kolloquium since decades ago. Some of them were students who were studying EM at that time. This Kolloquium is taken place every […]
Malinau, Indonesia
It was a very warm day in Malinau, Borneo Island, until the orange tent should be covered by leaves to decrease the temperature inside the tent (where the MT data logger was placed).
Opuwo, Namibia
Opuwo is located some hundred kilometers to the north from Windhoek, i.e. the capital city of Namibia. In this MT (Magnetotelluric) field campaign, structures correlated to Pangea (the old cratoon) was the target. Beside very hard rocks to dig, 42 Celsius degree temperature was a challange. However, the scenes, the landscapes are awesome.
Sipoholon, Indonesia
Sipoholon is located in the North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Magnetotelluric (MT) method was used in this filed campaign to find conductive structures, which correspond to geothermal fluids. In the picture, from left to right, are Dr. Nukman (geologist), Toni (geophysicist), Faizal (geophysicist). They were trying to find a good location (i.e. wide and flat area) […]
Magnetotelluric
Maxwell equations can be printed in a T-shirt, instead of in a thesis. Tensor impedance matrix can be written in the wall of a bedroom, instead of in a dissertation. Although for some people, usually bachelor students, those two thing are worse than have a headache. At the beginning, it was very hard to understand Maxwell […]
