Induction vectors represent geomagnetic transfer functions used in magnetotellurics and related passive electromagnetic sounding methods geophysics. They are obtained from the measurements of variation carry information on distribution local regional electric resistivity subsurface, which can be interpreted terms geology tectonics. The underlying concept their interpretation works properly if s...

Magnetotelluric (MT) method is an electromagnetic technique that uses the earth natural field to map the electrical resistivity changes in subsurface structures. Because of the high penetration depth of the electromagnetic fields in this method (tens of meters to tens of kilometers), the MT data is used to investigate the shallow to deep subsurface geoelectrical structures and their dimensions....

Geophysical imaging provides a unique perspective on metasomatism, because it allows the present day fluid distribution in the Earth’s crust and upper mantle to be mapped. This is in contrast to geological studies that investigate midcrustal rocks have been exhumed and fluids associated with metasomatism are absent. The primary geophysical methods that can be used are (a) electromagnetic method...

We have developed and tested a new technique for calibration of seismometers using continuous recordings of ground noise. The method is founded on analytic techniques recently developed for estimation of transfer functions in magnetotellurics. We find that the technique can produce precise, absolute calibration measurements on sensors that do not have calibration coils. The data used are obtain...

We analyzed campaign Global Positioning System observation data in Kuchinoerabu-jima during 2006–2014. Most benchmarks located around Shin-dake crater showed crater-centered radial horizontal displacements. Horizontal displacements at western rim of the Shin-dake crater were tended to be larger compared to those at eastern rim. In addition, benchmark KUC14 which locates near the cliff at Furu-d...

magnetotellurics (mt) is a geophysical passive technique for exploring geothermal reservoirs. it utilizes a broad spectrum of natural geomagnetic fields for electromagnetic induction in the earth. this method is also preferred over dc-resistivity methods, particularly where the exploration of subsurface deep aquifers is considered. the role of mt method in the exploration of geothermal reservoi...
