February 17, 2017: Deadline for advanced registration

SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACT
Invitation to Presenters:
Contributions are cordially invited for oral and poster presentations on theory, developments andapplications of 3D EM forward and inverse modeling in Earth science and other areas. We especiallyrequest papers on new applications and case studies, both fully successful studies and those with1

lessons learned for future work. Developments in fast and accurate 3D and 4D modeling and inversion
algorithms are welcome, as are new techniques for accessing uncertainty and resolution. Weemphasize that this symposium is really a workshop and we strongly encourage presentations of workin progress. Ample time will be allocated for discussion at the end of each session. Posters will have alarge room with devoted poster-only sessions during the symposium.
Planned sessions:
1. Forward modeling
2. Inversion modeling
3. Uncertainty and resolution analysis
4. Model studies
5. Applications (e.g. marine and mineral exploration, hydrological and environmental investigations)
Submission (Deadline: January 20, 2016):
An extended abstract needs to be two to four pages in length including figures. Please follow theinstructions and use the MS Word or LaTeX template available at
http://www.gwhohmann.org/3dem-6.html .
We accept PDF files only. The size of the file should not exceed 5 MB. The file name should be as"YourFirstName_LastName.pdf" or "YourFirstName_LastName.doc(x)". If you submit two or
more abstracts, add a number to your file name: e.g., FirstName_LastName_1.pdf,
FirstName_LastName_2.pdf, …
To submit your extended abstract, please access the “Abstract Submission” page of the official website
on or after December 16.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. Accepted papers will be
designated for oral or poster presentation. When you receive “a notification of acceptance forpresentation” from the Technical Program Committee, please proceed to the online registration.

**Student identification is necessary at the registration desk on arrival. We are currently seeking
sponsorship to help offset student registration fees and travel costs. We will update students who
register about support closer to the event, and we will refund the registration fees to any student who
registers and then later determines they can’t attend due to financial limitations.

- Nationality- Gender- Date of birth- Home address- Profession- Company- Telephone number (work/home)- E-mail address- Passport number- Passport expiration date
The committee will send invitation letters only to authors, and only after registration is completed.
Therefore, authors who require visa support must complete advance registration before February 15,
2017. For details, please contact the LOC at http://www.gwhohmann.org/contact-us.html, or3dem6@gwhohmann.org.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
The venue:
The conference room is located on the beautiful campus of the University of California Berkeley(UCB), at the base of the Berkeley Hills on the Eastern Side of San Francisco Bay near downtown
Berkeley. UCB is where Jerry Hohmann completed his PhD, so 3DEM-6 has special significance for
the Hohmann Trust.
Hotel Accommodation:
Hotel rooms are available on campus and near the university. Hotel rates range from ~$135 to~$250/night, and participants are requested to make their own hotel reservations. You can find as listof hotels on the website (http://www.gwhohmann.org/3dem-6.html ) or through other commercial
hotel reservation websites (eg. www.hotels.com , www.priceline.com , www.travelocity.com). The
University of California Faculty Club on campus (http://www.berkeleyfacultyclub.com/ ) provides theclosest lodging to the conference room. Other hotels off campus are within a 15 to 20 minute walk of
the Hearst Mining Building. Airbnb (www.airbnb.com) also offers many affordable options inBerkeley. As this is spring break, there might be some good deals.
Although the workshop will be held during the University’s spring break, Berkeley, and the San
Francisco region, are very popular destinations. Thus we recommend that you make reservation atyour earliest convenience. Berkeley is home of some of the region’s finest dining establishments,
including world renowned ‘Chez Panisse’ (http://www.chezpanisse.com/), and the Napa Valley iswithin an hour drive of campus (modulo traffic!). Spectacular scenery can be found throughout theBay area, with the Marine Headlands about 30 minutes north, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains andstunning Lake Tahoe three hours East. So consider extending your visit to enjoy the area’s uniquesights and cuisine.
Travelling to Berkeley and the Bay Area in General:Those coming directly to the Bay Area from outside of the United States will likely need to book aflight into San Francisco International Airport (SFO). From SFO, there is excellent public
transportation to downtown Berkeley, via the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. The UCB
campus, as well as most of the hotels on the list, are within a few-minutes walk of the Downtown
Berkeley BART station. Other transportation options including taxis, Uber and Lyft, and various vanpools.
For those who are coming from North American locations, Oakland International Airport (OAK)
offers the most convenient airport to Berkeley. BART also offers transportation from OAK to3

downtown Berkeley, and the other options listed above for ground transportation to the campus area
are present from the airport. San Jose International Airport (SJC) is also a regional option, but theground transportation time from the airport into Berkeley is at least one hour.
