The National Geoelectromagnetic Facility at Oregon State University acts as a point-of-contact for those interested in using NIMS MT systems that are maintained at the Oregon State electromagnetic instrument center. Requests for NGF instruments may be made through the web forms found on the left hand side of this page under "NGF Requests/Info -> NIMS MT system".

1) We currently have 62 NIMS transportable instruments available on a cost recovery basis. Through the end of 2018, priority access to 22 of these instruments is given to EarthScope Transportable Array studies (community experiment) and to EarthScope Science Program projects (PI-led), at no cost to EarthScope-funded investigators. Access to the 22 EarthScope instruments for all other purposes may be possible, with the concurrence of the NSF EarthScope Program Director. This facility also operates one LEMI-417 MT instrument.
