Chloe Gustafson earned a PhD from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in 2020 and is now a geophysicist with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Denver, Colorado. During and following her graduate work, Chloe's research focused on using electromagnetic methods to understand submarine and subglacial hydrogeologic systems. Chloe has spent two field seasons in Antarctica, been involved in the design and coordination of a multi-year international Antarctic geophysical data collection campaign, and delivered training on electromagnetic data collection in polar environments. Now at the USGS, Chloe develops and applies airborne electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric methods to map the geologic framework of critical-mineral systems throughout the U.S. as part of the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative.
Juliane Hübert is a senior research scientist at the British Geological Survey. Her journey began at the University of Potsdam and GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Germany, where memorable MT field campaigns sparked her interest in geophysics. After earning a PhD at Uppsala University, Sweden, on 2D and 3D MT inversion for mineral exploration, she held postdoctoral positions at University of Alberta, Canada, applying ground and airborne MT to porphyry mineral deposits and at University of Edinburgh, Scotland, investigating the plumbing system of volcanic centers in the Main Ethiopian Rift. Today, she focuses on understanding space weather ground effects and unlocking deep geothermal reservoirs.
Xiangyun Hu received the Ph.D. degree from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, China in 2000. His research interests include the fundamental theory, new algorithms, instrumentation, and applied innovations in electromagnetic methods for multi-scale Earth structural imaging. He has coauthored more than 350 articles in national and international journals. In 2025, Prof. Hu was a recipient of the Li Siguang Geological Science Prize, and the first prize of the Science and Technology Innovation Award of the Chinese Geophysical Society. He is the chair of the Hydrogeophysics Committee of the Chinese Geophysical Society, and an Associate Editor of Geological Society of America Bulletin and Geophysics.
Seogi Kang completed his PhD in Geophysics at the University of British Columbia (Canada) in 2018, where his thesis focused on computational electromagnetics and its applications to mining problems. He later worked as a Research Scientist at Stanford University, advancing electromagnetic geophysics for groundwater science and sustainable water management in California (USA). Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba, where he leads the Electromagnetic Geophysics Lab. His research focuses on advancing electromagnetic methods for groundwater and mineral exploration applications. He is also a co-creator of the open-source geophysical software project SimPEG.

Abstract submission
You can submit an abstract for the EMIW2026 scientific program once you have registered for the Workshop or applied for financial support.
To see the abstract submission form you first need to log in with your emiw credentials.
You will be asked to provide title, authors, affiliations and summary (approx. 250 words) via text fields in the form below. You will also be able to upload a PDF file that you've generated from the template provided (LaTeX, Word; zip file can be downloaded from here). This can be a one-page version that's essentially just the 250-word summary (plus title, authors, etc.), or an extended abstract version (max. 4 pages).
To see how the abstracts will be made available to the world after the Workshop please see the Abstracts web-page for the Beppu Workshop.
