Welcome to the Marine Electromagnetic Laboratory at Scripps

The Marine EM laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography pioneers new technologies for exploring the crust and mantle underneath the oceans using marine electromagnetism. Key research areas include marine controlled-source electromagnetic sounding (CSEM, also known as sea-bed logging, SBL and R3M) and the marine magnetotelluric method (MT or MMT).

Please use the links at the top of the page to navigate around the distinct areas of the site. The navigation menu on the left-hand side is specific to the section of the website you are currently viewing. The Research tab contains pages documenting current and past projects. Under the Resources tab you can find Presentations, Software, and Background information on marine electromagnetic methods. The Instruments tab has information on our seafloor electromagnetic receivers, EM transmitters and induction coil magnetometers.

Feel free to use the material available on this site to promote knowledge of marine EM methods. However, we kindly request that any presentations that use our images, or include images derived from ours, should be annotated with the attribution: "image courtesy of Scripps Institution of Oceanography". If material is taken from a paper preprint, please cite that work.
