Seminar Invitation

AGI hosts three separate seminars many times a year. The Resistivity Imaging Seminar covers all aspects of electrical resistivity imaging methods. The Advanced Resistivity Imaging Seminar focuses on the resistivity imaging theory, survey design, in-depth understanding of resistivity imaging methods and hands-on practice of resistivity data processing. The new Marine Resistivity Imaging Seminar focuses on the continuous resistivity profiling (CRP)with an electrode streamer on the water, and underwater resistivity imaging with a bottom cable.

Marine Resistivity Imaging Seminar

AGI invites you to attend a three-day seminar on marine resistivity imaging. This short course is intended for those professionals interested in continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) with a boat-towed electrode streamer on the water and underwater resistivity imaging with a bottom cable. This seminar will cover all aspects of marine resistivity imaging such as AGI SuperSting R8 Marine system, marine resistivity imaging survey design, field procedures, data processing and interpretation.

We recommend that you bring your own laptop PC running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista to the seminar. AGI will provide data processing software and hardware keys for data processing exercises during the seminar. For those without a laptop, please contact us as early as possible so that we can make appropriate arrangement for you.

The seminar will begin promptly at 9:00AM and will last until approximately 5:00PM for the first two days. The third day will be from 9:00AM - 3:00PM. Lunch and refreshments will be provided by AGI.

Advanced Resistivity Imaging Seminar

AGI invites you to attend a two-day seminar on advanced resistivity imaging. This short course is intended for those professionals currently involved in electrical resistivity imaging surveys and those seeking in-depth understanding of 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D resistivity imaging methods. This seminar will cover some theoretical aspects of forward modeling and inversion, 2D and 3D survey design issues, and hands-on practice on how to process surface data, borehole data, underwater data, continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data, 3D data, time-lapse monitoring data. The short course in Austin, Texas will be taught primarily by Dr. Xianjin Yang, the developer of EarthImager resistivity inversion programs.

We recommend that you bring your own laptop PC running Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista to the seminar. AGI will provide EarthImager dongles (hardware keys) for data processing exercises during the seminar. For those without a laptop, please contact us as early as possible so that we can make appropriate arrangement for you.

The seminar will begin promptly at 9:00AM and will last until approximately 5:00PM each day. Lunch and refreshments will be provided by AGI.

Resistivity Imaging Seminar.

AGI invites you to attend a two-day seminar focusing on Electrical Resistivity Imaging with the Sting/Swift system. This short course is designed for those professionals currently involved in conducting imaging surveys, those wishing to acquire this expertise, and those involved in the management, oversight or review of imaging surveys. This will be a hands on seminar covering resistivity and IP imaging including: theory, data acquisition, field procedures, data processing, data presentation and interpretation. Seminar Agenda: Day 1: Introduction The AGI web page and user group Some fundamental concepts and theory - Different Arrays - Apparent resistivity Electrical resistivity case histories Instrumentation - The Sting/Swift system - How the Swift system works - Sting menu by menu Preparing for field survey - Estimate depth penetration - Determine electrode separation - Comparing different electrode arrays - Prepare command files - Load command files into the Sting memory - Electrode preparation More case histories Why and when resistivity as opposed to other methods? Developing trends - Bore hole to bore hole measurements - Underwater measurements - 3D resistivity surveys Available 3D visualization software Resistivity inversion software Recommended literature Day 2: Field survey and data processing Download information document here.

Feedback of Seminar Participants

September seminar participants

Here are some of the comments from the course evaluation sheets from the seminar participants:

• "I was very pleased with the instructors' responses to questions. Their responses were thorough and complete. Other training courses often leave you with more questions because they do not completely asnwer your first question."
• "Immediately applicable to my work."
• "The ability to respond to any given question in the related field. Friendlyness."
• "Knowledge of the instructor about equipment, software and examples. Very good! Congratulations."
• "I've never been in other training courses but I think this course was ecellent."
