First workshop for Cooperative Studies between the Bishkek Institute and the Inter-Association on ElectroMagnetic Studies of Earthquakes and Volcanoes (EMSEV)

November 8 to 12, 2011

 Since many years, EMSEV plays promotes  new researches on active volcanoes (see EMSEV Web site:http://www.emsev-iugg.org/emsev/) and on active faults.  

At present, the cooperation between EMSEV and the Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS, The Philippines)  on the slow awake of Taal volcano (The Philippines) is running well. 

 Therefore, EMSEV now promotes investigations on the generation of earthquakes and on the electrical/magnetic signals which could accompany such events. Along the past EMSEV business meeting, it was discussed the setting of a scientific cooperation between the Research Station of the Russian Academy of Science in Bishkek (Kyrgyz) and EMSEV. 

 The scope of the cooperation will be 
"Understanding changes in electric conductivity structure associated with seismic activity in 
central Asia using large current injection systems of Bishkek Institute".
