From March, 31 to April, 11, 2025, an international scientific seminar is being held at the Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Bishkek cith (RS RAS) as a part of joint international project RSF-DST No. 24-47-02016 "Deep geoelectric structure of the Shillong plateau and adjacent seismically active areas (northeastern India) based on magnetotelluric data". The purpose of the seminar is to discuss the scientific results and field data of magnetotelluric studies obtained during the project in 2024 and in the first quarter of 2025.

  The seminar is attended by Russian and Indian geophysicists representing the Center for Geoelectromagnetic Research of the Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences - a branch of the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CGEMI IPE RAS, Moscow, Russia), the Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Bishkek (RS RAS, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan) and the National Geophysical Research Institute of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-NGRI) Hyderabad, India).

  The seminar included sessions at which the main executors of the joint Russian-Indian project RSF-DST No. 24-47-02016 "Deep geoelectric structure of the Shillong plateau and adjacent seismically active territories (NE India) based on magnetotelluric sounding data" made a reports: Dr. A. Rybin, PhD candidate A. Ionicheva, PhD candidate T. Rodina, PhD candidate K. Nepeina, Dr. Devi А. and Mr. Babu N.

  The participants of the RSF-DST project presented the results obtained during its implementation on the collection, processing and analysis of field magnetotelluric sounding data in the Shillong plateau study area (northeastern India), as well as preliminary results of the analysis of magnetotelluric monitoring records carried out in the Northern Tien Shan territory.

  The employees of the Laboratory of Deep Magnetotelluric Studies of RS RAS took an active part in the seminar. During the seminar, master classes were held on the organization of field measurements and modern methods of processing and analyzing field geophysical materials. The participants of the seminar had the opportunity to present their approaches and results of processing and analyzing magnetotelluric data. Two field excursions were also held: a visit to the magnetotelluric monitoring point of the RS RAS "Aksu" (Head DMTS D. Chernenko) and a visit to the regime geophysical station of the RAS NS "Kegety".

  The seminar became an important platform for the exchange of experience and knowledge between Russian and Indian scientists, for training and advanced training of young researchers from our countries. We thank all the participants of the seminar for interesting reports and speeches, fruitful and informal discussion of the issues considered, which gives a small but real contribution to the development of international scientific cooperation!
