Summary:Geophysical computing within the cloud appears to be the way of the future. The instantaneous, on-demand character of modern life is now firmly established. We present an integrated 1D magnetotelluric forward modelling web app. This basic web app combines a scientific python back end and a front end built upon PHP and HTML5 web technologies. It has also been packaged as an easy to install plugin for the popular Wordpress framework. The application simulates the 1D magnetotelluric response over any isotropic geo-electrical earth model. MT forward modelling can be performed on any internet enabled device containing a HTML5 compliant browser with our WebMT application. This includes mobile phones, tablets and desktop PC's. This research demonstrates one approach to geophysical web application development and promotes future development and innovation within the geophysics community.
