In 2019 and 2020, IRIS will establish a new pool of portable magnetotelluric (MT) systems at the PASSCAL Instrument Center in Socorro, New Mexico. The facility aims to broaden the participation of principal investigators in MT research by increasing opportunities for experiments by non-specialists and encouraging combined seismic-MT deployments, with user training and data handling support available through the PIC at no extra cost. The vision for this facility is described in a previous… [more]
