Electromagnetic Studies of Earthquakes and Volcanoes (EMSEV) is an inter-association working group of IUGG. It focuses on the observation and understanding of the various kinds of electromagnetic phenomena associated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. EMSEV Workshop 2016 will consist of two parts. The pre-workshop managed by CSES will be devoted to electromagnetic satellite observations, and will be held in Beijing during 23-25 August 2016. The workshop will be hosted by Lanzhou Institute of Seismology (LIS) and the Institute of Crustal Dynamics(ICD), CEA, and held at Lanzhou City during 25-29 August 2016. It will emphasize on understanding earthquakes and volcanoes from lithosphere to space.
