Seafloor Electromagnetic Methods Consortium

The Seafloor Electromagnetic Methods Consortium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography develops electromagnetic methods for the purpose of offshore petroleum exploration. Consortium support since 1996 has led to the development of a highly reliable marine EM receiver, the active-source EM method for exploration, an acitve-source EM transmitter system, the marine MT method for mapping of 3D salt structures, EM software and modeling tools, and supported several marine EM graduate students. Please visit the links at left to learn more about the SEMC. Also, the tabs at the top of this page offer more information about the Marine EM Laboratory's research and resources.

The Principal Investigators for the SEMC are Steven Constable and Kerry Key. The SEMC also funds Karen Weitemeyer (Post Doc) and graduate students David Myer, Brent Wheelock, Dylan Connell and Samer Naif. Arnold Orange joined our group in 2007 and is now a Research Associate. Jim Behrens left us mid-2007 to find his fortune as a free-lance geophysicist - if you want someone to ride a boat or play guitar, he's your man. Yuguo Li was a post-doc and then Project Scientists working with the group, who recently returned to China with a Professorship at Ocean University of China (congrats Yuguo!).
