earth tides Electromagnetics geophysical induced polarization near-surface geophysics

I work on problems in electromagnetics in exploration geophysics and in global geodynamics. Currently I am working on a technique called induced polarization ( IP) .  This is used in exploration for minerals as well as in environmental investigations.
