What's new in EMIGMA

Here are some highlights of the features that were included in EMIGMA during the fall of 2009.

Zonge Data Imports in native format: EMIGMA has been augmented to allow direct import of the Zonge .avg format from the GDP32 for CSAMT, Resistivity/IP (frequency domain and time domain) as well as TEM data. The CSAMT import allows import of Efields and Hfields as well as the impedance data.

CSAMT Inversions: We have added the inversion of CSAMT data to our suite of one-dimensional inversions but with some twists. First, the true 3D source is utilized allowing the effective use of non-farfield data and secondly, the user may invert impedances, Efields or Hfields. Thus, in this manner, one may actually effectively utilize your CSAMT data without regard to farfield assumptions which almost never occur over the entire range of utilized frequencies and the separation of the e- and h-measurements.

VTEM waveform: We have augmented EMIGMA to allow a much more accurate representation of the VTEM waveform. This can be utilized for much more accurate inversions as well as 3D simulations. Both the new waveform and the traditional waveform are now offered.

Moving System TEM inversions: Our extremely effective TEM inversions have been further extended to allow horizontally constrained inversions. In this implementation of horizontally constrained TEM inversions, the user is ask to select the length of a moving window of stations along a line or flight as well as the weights assigned to each location in the moving window. The inversion then moves along the line inverting jointly all the stations with weights to produce a model that fits all the stations within the windows, stores that model and moves the window along. The windows may be overlapping or disjoint.

Revised Exports: There is an ever-increasing demand to export EMIGMA results to other applications for such things as our processed data, grids, inversions and model results. We augmented most aspects of these export capabilities.

Resistivity Inversion: In the fall, we augmented our 1D resistivity inversion significantly including inversions for gradient data. Now, we are hard at work on our first 3D resistivity inversion application. We are hoping to see this released before the end of February 2010. This inversion will form the basis for other 3D inversions of galvanic applications such as CSAMT, MT and ZTEM data where the focus will be on inverted only galvanic and magnetostatic scattering effects.

Feel free to contact us for further details on any of the above items.
