Dear Colleague, We wish to report that the Second Quadrennial Symposium on Three- Dimensional Electromagnetics (3DEM-II), Oct. 27-29 last, was an outstanding success with about 150 attendees and over 80 presentations filling three days. For many it represented a reunion of sorts. Proceeds from this event support the Gerald W. Hohmann Memorial Trust for teaching and research in electrical geophysics. This includes two student scholarships with matching funds from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) plus an annual career achievement award. This year's award was presented at the symposium to Doug Oldenburg and Yaoguo Li for fundamental progress in 2-D inversion for DC resistivity and induced polarization. Printed proceedings from the symposium are available for purchase for $125 U.S. These contain 342 pages with 82 concise papers describing the state-of-the-art and many new techniques for interpreting 3-D electrical geophysical data. Our many thanks to all who made this exciting event possible. Philip E. Wannamaker, symposium co-chair Trustee, Gerald W.
