GIPP-MT - Magnetotelluric component of the "Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam"

The magnetotelluric instruments are part of the "Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam(GIPP)" which means that the instruments are generally available for academic use to all German Universities. The allocation of the instruments is decided by the GFZ Executive Board, following the recommendation of the GIPP Steering Board (Lenkungsausschuss). The application form can be found here. All of the magnetotelluric instruments described below are stored and maintained at the premises of the Geomagnetic Observatory in Niemegk.
