Lithospheric architecture at the Rae-Hearne boundary revealed through magnetotelluric and seismic experiments
The western segment of the Churchill Province of Canada, west of Hudson Bay, was divided by Hoffman (1988) into the Archean Rae and Hearne domains separated by the Snowbird Tectonic Zone (STZ) (Fig. 1), defined on the basis of potential field data. The Hearne domain has been further subdivided into the northern Hearne and southern Hearne subdomains (Davis et al., this volume). There is little d...
متن کاملVarying Indian crustal front in the southern Tibetan Plateau as revealed by magnetotelluric data
In the southern Tibetan plateau, which is considered to be the ongoing India–Eurasia continental collision zone, tracing of the Indian crustal front beneath Tibet is still controversial. We conducted deep subsurface electrical modeling in southern Tibet and discuss the geometry of the front of the Indian crust. Three areas along the Yarlung-Zangbo river zone for which previous magnetotelluric (...
متن کاملMagnetotelluric inversion for 2D anisotropic conductivity structures
We report on progress in developing a magnetotelluric inversion method for two-dimensional anisotropic conductivity distribution. A standard two-dimensional model is discretized into a number of rectangular cells, each with a constant conductivity tensor, and the solution of the inverse problem is obtained by minimizing a global objective functional consisting of data misfit, a structural const...
متن کاملThree-dimensional inversion of magnetotelluric data in complex geological structures
Int erp retation of magneto telluri c data over inhomogeneous geolog ical st ructures is st ill a challenging problem in geophysical exploration. We have developed a new 3-D MT inversion method and a computer code based on full nonlinear conjugate gradient inversion and quasi analyt ical approximation for forward modeling solut ion. Appli cat ion of the QA approximation to forward model ing a...
متن کاملMagnetotelluric tensor decomposition: Part II, Examples of a basic procedure
The decomposition procedure suggested for magnetotelluric (MT) data in a companion paper is illustrated by examples. Adjacent pairs of stations are examined to test for common features in their MT response. The method analyzes the real and quadrature parts of an impedance tensor separately, and the results for the real and quadrature parts are compared, and in some cases combined, at the end. V...
