EMIGMA for Land CSEM and CSAMT

Land CSEM/CSAMT Flyer

The CSEM/CSAMT software package is available as a standalone license or as an add-on to other EMIGMA licenses.

In some communities, land controlled source surveys, are termed CSAMT and here the electric and magnetic fields are most often provided as a ratio or impedance for interpretation. In other communities, these surveys are termed CSEM, and in these communities the fields are used independently mirroring the older LOTEM surveys. EMIGMA may deal with all of these individual peculiarities between different paradigms.
