Altered What is EM Geosci
Added EM Geosci and the SEG
Altered the Under Construction only by changing the date. Do we still want disc links?

Look good Doug - I just suggest a small change with SimPEG (add the "Geophysics"). I can do this. I will also split the lines so it is easier to version later

(and I like the goal update, haha!)

Examples are available through `Jupyter Notebooks`_ and can be run through Binders_.
The simulations use the open-source Simulation and Parameter Estimation package
SimPEG_.
EM GeoSci is an open-source resource that emphasizes the physical principles of electromagnetic methods and their application in solving geoscience problems. Rigorous analytic solutions of the EM problems with specific transmitting fields and earth models are left to existing books and research papers, and so too are the computational details required to numerically solve Maxwell’s equations. Our emphasis is on using analytic and numerical solutions to understand electromagnetic fields and fluxes obtained from various types of transmitters in different geological environments and to show how different EM surveys, using controlled or natural sources, can be applied in practise. `Case Histories <https://em.geosci.xyz/content/case_histories/index.html#case-histories-index>`_ play an essential role. They allow readers to make the connection between the geoscience problem, the EM survey, and the eventual outcome. Understanding the fundamental physics is facilitated through the use of `Jupyter Notebooks <https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/geoscixyz/em-apps/master?filepath=index.ipynb>`_ which allow users to visualize fields and explore understanding by changing parameters. The simulations use the open-source package `SimPEG <https://simpeg.xyz>`_ (Simulation and Parameter Estimation).

For SimPEG, I will extend the parenthetical to be the whole name ("Simulation and Parameter Estimation in Geophysics")



EM GeoSci is under construction
-------------------------------

EM GeoSci is under active construction. We are working to fill in blank
pages and address todo's. Our goal is to have a mature version available by the
end of 2017. In the meantime, we are making this resource available and
end of 2019. In the meantime, we are making this resource available and

ha, only a 2 year adjustment in goals :)
