Division VI (formerly Working Group I.2) of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) on ‘‘Electromagnetic Induction in the Earth and Planetary Bodies’’ (https://www.emiw.org/) has long played an active role in the field of geophysics. The Electromagnetic Induction Workshop (EMIW) is one of its most important activities and has been held biennially since its inception in 1972 in Edinburgh, UK. Keynote reviews are given by both younger and senior scientists and are summarized in review papers. These review papers describe recent advances in a sub-discipline or topic, and some are regarded as tutorials in the future application of a particular method. These contributions are published as Special Issues of Surveys in Geophysics/Geophysical Surveys. The 23rd EMIW was held in Chang Mai, Thailand, between the 14th and 20th August 2016, and was attended by 315 participants from 39 countries. More than 350 abstracts were submitted to the eight workshop sessions:
