IX All-Russian School-Workshop
on Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth
Named in Honor of M.N. Berdichevsky, L.L. Vanyan and V.I. Dmitriev
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 9th All-Russian School-Workshop on Electromagnetic Soundings of the Earth, named in honor of M.N. Berdichevsky, L.L. Vanyan, and V.I. Dmitriev (EMS-2025).
This school-workshop has long been one of the largest forums for specialists in electromagnetic (EM) geophysical methods. With a rich history, it honors the legacy of three distinguished scientists in the field of electromagnetic sounding. In 2025, the workshop's topics will expand to include geomagnetic observations, space weather, and the electromagnetic interactions between geospheres.
EMS-2025 offers a unique opportunity for researchers, mentors, representatives from geophysical service companies, as well as graduate and undergraduate students, to showcase their achievements, discuss the future directions of electromagnetic methods, and explore the latest advancements in electromagnetic research technologies.
