Working Group I.2 of IAGA - Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth ================================================================== Electronic Newsletter #3: February 1993 --------------------------------------- This is the third electronic newsletter for our group. A newsletter will be sent around when there is enough material, or a special event about to come up, to warrant distribution. Not all of us in the working group have access to email address; if you are aware of colleagues who are not likely to receive this newsletter, please give them a paper copy (but chastise them for using trees instead of electrons). Also, please forward this to colleagues who may not yet be on my email list and ask them to forward their address to me. Copies of previous electronic newsletters can be obtained by anonymous ftp login to cg.emr.ca in directory pub/iaga_wgi.2. See below regarding the address list for instructions on how to login to this node. Please submit any comments/articles/news-items/gossip/corrections to jones@cg.emr.ca The main reason for this newsletter is the impending deadline for Argentina 1993. See below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Argentina 1993 ================= Our group is active in six (6) sessions at Argentina and there are a number of other sessions of interest to us in Divisions 5 and 7. Please note that the abstract deadline is very early. It is FEBRUARY 28TH 1993. +++++++++++++++++++ Please see newsletter #2 for a list of topics and conveners. A number of you have been asking about the format of the abstract. I have copied parts of IAGA Newsletter about that: Quoting from the IAGA NEWS No. 31 (Sept 1992). SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS Acceptance of a paper (oral or poster) at the Assembly is decided on the basis of an abstract sent to the convener of the session in which you wish the paper to be presented. The address of the convener is given under each session's heading in the detailed listing that follows. You should send an original copy typed on white paper [that is to say, the top copy, the clean "camera-ready" version] to the Secretary of the Local Organizing Committee in Buenos Aires Andrea van Zele Local Organizing Committee 7th Scientific Assembly of IAGA Casilla de Correo 106 - Sucursal 28 1428 Buenos Aires ARGENTINA Your abstract will be electronically scanned and digitized and you should not that FAX QUALITY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Leave two blank lines then add the session number(s). Give a list of full postal addresses of all authors. Underline the author who will give the paper. The deadline for receipt of the abstracts is 1993 FEBRUARY 28 ================== The abstract, after digitizing and store on disc (sic), will be assembled under publishing software so that every abstract will be printed with the same mix of typeface, emphasis, character sizes, and line spacing. The format of your abstract should, therefore, be as follows: Overall, 14 lines of 60 characters each line. The first line will be indented 10 characters (to allow insertion of the session number and paper serial number). The end result for printing will be like this: 01.22.01 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS AND THE THERMAL REMNANT MAGNETISM OF PLEONASTIC DYKES IN NEVERNEVERLAND M Gadsden, A Wegener and Alexander v Humboldt Recent studies of polar mesospheric clouds indicate quite clearly that the presence of these clouds at an altitude of 83.52 km can cause serious disruption to magnetitic nodules in the frontal lobes of geomagnetic students. Detailed computer modelling, using the recently-developed ABDN/IRRA algorithm and employing the full data store of the new global geomorphic data centre, confirms all the predictions made by the authors. The implications for global change are naturally spelled out in enormous detail and plans for a significantly-funded campaign will be discussed. And please do not forget to add the session number: 1.33+2.27 and the full postal addresses of all the authors: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. MTNET IS HERE! ================== As promised at the Wellington workshop, repositories of our software are being set up for one-shop software shopping for all your processing/ modelling/inversion needs. Log in anonymously using ftp to the European node (Adam Schultz's) on: mtnet-europe.esc.cam.ac.uk You can look around and you'll find Alan Chave's rrrmt in /pub/mtnet/src/signal_proc/transfer/RRRMT rrrmt.5.doc rrrmt.5.f rrrmt.5.ps rrrmt.5.subs.f You can "get" any files you want. Coming soon (as soon as we sort out our new Internet addresses!) mtnet-northamerica.cg.emr.ca which will be a mirror of mtnet-europe. Other software we hope to include are 1D and 2D inversions, Ross Groom's decomp, the extended GB decomp (McNeice/Jones), etc. If you have software to put into mtnet, please contact myself. Adam Schultz and I will be writing guidelines in the near future (as soon as he stops going to tea breaks). Comments are very welcome as we set mtnet up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. References in TeX ==================== A number of journals (JGG, SG) now accept manuscripts in TeX or LaTeX on floppy disk. Over the last six years, I have been compiling a file containing references in TeX for mostly EM papers but also a lot of other geoscientific papers (e.g., fluids, rheology, etc.). It now has well over 500 in. An example is (the most cited paper in EM induction): \ref {Weidelt, P.}{1972} {The inverse problem of geomagnetic induction} {\ZG}{38}{257-289} There are six fields for the "ref" format; 1: Author(s) 2: Year 3: Title 4: Journal 5: Volume 6: Page number. I have formats for "book", "inbook", "paper", "poster", "report", "segpaper", etc., with varying numbers of fields. I have written a number of TeX macros to write the information out in the formats of various journals with their differing journal abbreviations. The format for "ref" for Geophysical Journal International is: \def\ref#1#2#3#4#5#6{\par\noindent\hangindent=20pt\hangafter=1 #1, #2. #3. {\it#4}, {\bf#5}, #6.} and \def\ZG{Zeitschrift f\"ur Geophysik} which writes field-1, then a comma, then field-2 followed by a period. Then field-3, comma, field-4 in italics, comma, field-5 in boldface, comma, field-6, period. Note that all lines after the first are indented by 20 points. This is not perfect as, for example, GJI wants an ampersand (&) for more than one author (Smith, A. & Bloggs, B.), whereas other journals want an "and" (Smith, A. and Bloggs B.), some with a comma before the "and" (Smith, A., and Bloggs, B.), and some want the minor authors' initials first (Smith, A. and B. Bloggs). So minor editing of the references is still necessary; but it saves writing them all out again and again.

Personal Notes [submissions requested for here] ================= EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: ----------------------- INSTITUTE OF THEORETICAL GEOPHYSICS Department of Earth Sciences and Department of Applied Mathemtics and Theoretical Physics UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE FELLOWSHIP IN THEORETICAL GEOPHYSICS The Institute of Theoretical Geophysics seeks a post-doctoral scientist to join an already strong multidisciplinary research group in theoretical geophysics. Research areas covered by the Institute, headed by Professor H.E. Huppert FRS, currently include geodynamics, geological fluid mechanics, geomagnetism and induction, seismology and volcanology. Applications are invited from scientists whose research interests cover any of these fields or any other area of theoretical geophysics. The position is for two years in the first instance with a possibility of renewal for a further term. The Fellow will find a congenial work environment in the Institute, which currently houses 5 University Faculty members and 6 post-doctoral Fellows. The Institute has accomodation in both the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department of Applied Mathemtics and Theoretical Physics, and the Fellow will have access to facilities in both Departments. The successful candidate, on taking up the Fellowship in October 1993 or as soon thereafter as convenient, will probably have finished a Ph.D. within the last three years. The initial stipend for the position will be between 12,638 and 18,576 pounds sterling dependent upon age and previous research experience. Further information on the Fellowship is available from Ms. T. Green- Thomas, Institute of Theoretical Geophysics, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Silver Street, Cambridge CB3 9EW, England, to whom applications should be send by either mail, fax (+44 223 337918) or email (TG112@phx.cam.ac.uk) by Friday, 26 March 1993. 6 copies of the application should include a curriculum vitae, the names of three referees and a statement of approximately 1,000 words describing the applicant's previous and current research. --------------------- I would particularly encourage members of the EM induction community as well as seismologists with a theoretical bent to apply for this position, which is supported by the Isaac Newton Trust. ITG have established a rapidly expanding group in EM induction, and we are presently concentrating on problems of global 3D structure in the upper mantle. This group includes Dr A. Schultz, University Lecturer in Theoretical Geophysics; Dr M. Everett, post-doctoral Fellow; Dr J.T. Smith, Senior Research Fellow (from April 1993); and Mr. G. Pritchard, post-graduate researcher. The Institute houses excellent computational facilities, with a substantial network of Sparcstations, a Convex C210, an HP 750 3D visualisation workstation, Macintoshes and PCs, and a rich library of software including AVS and Geotools. Links between the ITG groups housed in Applied Mathemtics and Theoretical Physics, and with Earth Sciences, are excellent, and further links exist with the experimental geophysics groups at Bullard Laboratories. Further information may be obtained from adam@itg.esc.cam.ac.uk, as well as from the address above. -Adam Schultz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan G Jones Ottawa, February, 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IAGA Working Group I.2 Internet email list: 27 January 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------- Additions/corrections/deletions to: jones@cg.emr.ca Temporary addresses identified by termination date A bracketed (R) after the address indicates that mail was returned from that address when last sent.
