GEM 2024 Shenzhen: International Workshop on Gravity, Electrical, and Magnetic Methods and Their Applications

Workshop Overview

Since GEM 2019 Xi'an, the world has undergone unprecedented and fundamental changes. Among them, energy transition and the development of sustainable communities and infrastructure have emerged as the key priorities for the geophysical community. GEM 2024 Shenzhen aims to provide a timely international platform that unites geophysicists and other professionals in the broad Earth science community, facilitating discussions on the crucial role that geophysics can and should play in the energy transition and the mitigation of climate change consequences.

Geoscientists have been taking proactive measures to explore various energy transition strategies, including: carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal energy, geological hydrogen, and more. Meanwhile, the projected rise in the adoption of solar and wind energy, as well as electrical vehicles, is expected to dramatically increase the demand for critical minerals. In addition, due to climate change, securing a reliable supply of clean water and power becomes paramount for both human well-being and the economy both locally and globally.

GEM 2024 Shenzhen will be a platform for industry professionals, government agencies, and academics to showcase the latest technological and methodological advancements in potential field and electromagnetic geophysics, and their applications to addressing the grand challenges posed by energy transition and climate change. Additionally, it will foster discussions on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for geophysicists.

At GEM 2024 Shenzhen, we believe that the collaboration and knowledge sharing among geophysicists and geoscientists will enable us to think beyond the conventional boundaries and pave the way for innovative solutions to the complex energy and environmental challenges we face. Join us at GEM 2024 Shenzhen where we will inspire, learn, and shape the future of applied geophysics together!
