Metadata standards for magnetotelluric time-series data

Modern magnetotellurics (MT) offers a multiscale capability to image the electrical properties of Earth’s crust and upper mantle. The data it provides and the models derived from it are important geophysical contributions to understanding Earth’s geology and resource potential. In Australia, MT data is acquired by the resource exploration industry, university-based research groups, and Federal, State and Territory geological surveys. To ensure this data can be used to its full potential, including by groups and individuals who may not have been responsible for its acquisition, it is important that community-agreed standards be adopted for the acquired data and its associated metadata. <b>Citation: </b>Jingming Duan, Alison Kirkby, Darren Kyi, Wenping Jiang, Marina Costelloe & Adrian Hitchman (2021) Metadata standards for magnetotelluric time-series data, <i>Preview</i>, 2021:215, 61-63.
